Description
Summary:<p class="1">This paper presents the development of a custom SRAM island-style FPGA, covering the information needed and the steps involved in hardware implementation, bitstream configuration and design alternatives to facilitate the overall implementation effort from an academic point of view. To achieve the state of the art, commercial FPGAs can employ a large team, a high time-to-market, and high non-recurring engineering costs. In contrast, by taking the challenge of building a custom FPGA with a small team of researchers, the development of custom architecture and size focuses on the proof of concept. This baseline methodology result can be a start point for the development of new technologies or circuit enhancements.</p>
