I have been working with FPGAs for just about 10 years now. And I just realized that I have never done a CDC FIFO. Well... Maybe back in uni as some paper exercise.

It's such a weird gap too. Since it's like the first answer anyone gives whenever you want to transfer a lot of data across clock domains. But I just haven't needed a hardware FIFO for that yet.

So I spent the afternoon implementing one from scratch and shoving every edge case I could think of at it. Just as a learning exercise.

Have you found any weird gaps in your own knowledge?

I've been looking for internships for a while, mostly all of them require that you either study in or have the citizenship of the country in which the opportunity exists (mostly in US, Canada, and EU).

What can I do as a foreign student who wants to get a chance in such a field, especially that neither my uni or country overall offers a lot of opportunities for us?

I have the OA for the NVIDIA hardware internship at my college on October 22; can someone suggest the types of technical and aptitude questions asked, and as a BTech fresher, what kind of projects are sufficient?

I'm a third-year EEE student at UCL and I'm struggling to get past the initial application stage for FPGA internships. I rarely seem to receive online assessments and keep getting rejected after submitting my applications.

I'm particularly interested in FPGA engineering roles at trading firms, but I'm not sure whether the issue is my CV, lack of relevant experience, or something else.

For anyone who's been through this process, especially EEE students or people applying for FPGA/HFT internships, what helped you get more OAs? Is there anything specific recruiters look for at the CV screening stage?

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Hii guys,

I'm currently a student studying computer engineering and I was looking around for careers I could do with my degree.

I found out abt FPGA's later on and I really want to get into it.

The issue is that the engineering department in my school just started (I'm in the first set ever) so there's basically zero hardware-anything at all. I feel like it's so bad cause they've not even bothered to try to teach us any code in the last 3 years at this school.

Regardless I took it upon myself to learn something that will help me even a little when I finish from here and go do my masters, so I started with embedded and got an Arduino kit to start trying to learn with AI. I'm probably still very far off cause learning with AI isn't exactly ideal especially if it's a free version.

Joining this community has really opened my eyes to see how much farther the gap is and it feels like I'm in a hole trying to crawl out just to get to the base line

Any thoughts and advice would be very helpful

Thank you very much 🙏🏾🙏🏾

I made a working correlator receiver in VHDL for my basys3 that can read from a raw IQ .bin file captured by an RTL-SDR and decode and display airplane positions and information. I want to make it work in real time and not just simulations but im having trouble figuring out how i can get the RTL-SDR stream to the basys3 without doing all of the signal detection on a pc first.

From what i understand the basys3 uart maxes out at 1 Mbps but adsb raw IQ sampling needs at least 32 Mbps. This is my second project on the basys3 and i dont have any other hardware but im open to any (cheap) suggestions that make this as little pc dependent as possible.

Hi everyone!

If anyone have appeared for the IMC Trading written test, could you please share the questions you remember? I’d be really grateful!

Also, if you cleared the test, could you share what to expect in the interview round and what topics I should focus on preparing?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Quiero ver los proyectos de algunos usuarios para saber cuál experimentar primero, soy muy principiante pero me gustaría que se puede hacer más con las FPGA que no he encontrado en Youtube

Without any context, if my interview went like an 8 on 10, what chances do i have to move forward for a position (intern)

The position is in hardware background so less saturated then swe ig
