In this chapter, we looked at what role FPGAs play in embedded development, how they have changed in importance over the past decades, and how they are now being used. We looked at a simple implementation of an oscilloscope that uses both an FPGA and an SBC-based component. Having read through this chapter, you should now know when to pick an FPGA for a new embedded project and understand how one can use and communicate with such a device.

Overview of this book
C++ is a great choice for embedded development, most notably, because it does not add any bloat, extends maintainability, and offers many advantages over different programming languages. Hands-On Embedded Programming with C++17 will show you how C++ can be used to build robust and concurrent systems that leverage the available hardware resources.
Starting with a primer on embedded programming and the latest features of C++17, the book takes you through various facets of good programming. You’ll learn how to use the concurrency, memory management, and functional programming features of C++ to build embedded systems. You will understand how to integrate your systems with external peripherals and efficient ways of working with drivers. This book will also guide you in testing and optimizing code for better performance and implementing useful design patterns. As an additional benefit, you will see how to work with Qt, the popular GUI library used for building embedded systems.
By the end of the book, you will have gained the confidence to use C++ for embedded programming.
