EEVblog #635 - FPGA's Vs Microcontrollers

How easy are FPGA's to hook up and use use compared to traditional microcontrollers? A brief explanation of why FPGA are a lot more complicated to setup and get working than microcontrollers. A short video linking to several other FGPA videos. NOTE: This is very old footage that was meant to be part of a series of videos on trying out some FPGA demo boards. It's been sitting around for too long, so I'm uploading all the footage I have now.
