Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- What do you mean when you said "reconfigurable"? I think uc is also reconfigurable. --- Quote End --- Not the same thing, not even close. Programming an FPGA is much like designing a digital integrated circuit: You draw* the circuit using logic gates (AND, OR, etc) and flip-flops and some other bits and pieces. Then you use the FPGA software to synthetize and map the circuit you draw into a FPGA configuration and when you load the configuration into the FPGA, it will behave as the circuit you draw. * Or you describe the behavior of the circuit in Verilog/VHDL
