Summary
In this chapter, we've learned the basics of ASICs and FPGAs, how they are built, and when they make monetary sense. We've learned to use an FPGA board and program it. This sets us up for the rest of the book, where we will use this board and our programming skills in a variety of tasks and projects. Ultimately, these skills will be the foundation for developing your own designs, be they for work or for play.
The next chapter will build upon our example design as we delve further into combinational logic design.
