December 23, 2025 RISC-v and FPGAs With Ted Speers From Microchip
Available on your favorite podcast platform.
In this episode, we discuss with
Ted Speers the history of FPGAs and the
inclusion of RISC-V technology in Microchip’s latest
PolarFire products.
Ted is an industry veteran and shares his experiences, including why they chose RISC-V and
the resulting benefits. Pay special attention to his general advice starting
1:15:26.
Strategy is not being some smart guy figuring out we are going to do this,
this, and this, and it’s all going to work out. Strategy is creating options
for yourself. You always want to create optionality. As soon as you get locked
into one track, that may lead to failure. So creating optionality, if you are
a young person, is what you want to do with your career. One way to create
optionality is to meet people. The way you make your own luck is create the
options. Then you are in a robust, anti-fragile position.
Ted recommends books by Nassim Nicholas Taleb such as The Black Swan.
