  • I am interested in trying out FPGAs for the purpose of running specific calculations more efficiently. Since the calculations themselves are quite complex, I would need to be able to program in a relatively high-level language. I've seen that designing SoC in Python is possible, for example with Litex (https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex) or Amaranth (https://github.com/amaranth-lang/). I don't want to spend hundreds of hours learning about FPGAs, but I'm prepared to take on a challenge.
