I got a job
After more than one year of playing  around with this blog I have got a real job. I have started to work for a company called ORSoC.

ORSoC is an electronic development company. We are specialized in FPGA/ASIC development and SoC (System on Chip) design based on open source, license free IPs. This technology offers many important advantages to developers – cost reduction is just one of many.

One of the fundamental IPs within the technology is the 32 bits RISC processor, the OR1200, which is very similar to the ARM9. The technology offers over 400 different IPs, including peripherals, crypto, processors, arithmetic IPs, etc.

Based on the technology ORSoC may design a unique SoC that includes all functionality required for a special product. In many designs we use a multi processor solution to divide different algorithms to different processors. The flexibility in the technology makes it possible to 100% fulfill the unique requirements for a special product (extreme low power consumption, high performance, accuracy, etc).

Another great advantage with the technology is that the designs are technology independent. You may port it between FPGAs, structured ASICs, standard ASICs. The technology also reduces the "end-of-life problems".

ORSoC are experts within the
OpenCores technology, offering turn-key designs and support for the technology. ORSoC has a special design tool to our disposal which guaranties reliable and flexible design as well as very rapid development cycles.

Thanks for your efforts and info. I think I will be visiting this site often as I am venturing further deep into SystemC.

And congrats on your job!

Now I feel there are much more jobs in embedded processor (higher level design) then in FPGA in North America.

Never seen such an elaborate overview, looks great!
I'm an ASIC designer in the Netherlands, thinking about switching over to FPGA because I expect there are more jobs for FPGA designers. Can anyone confirm this, or comment otherwise?
