虽然现在FPGA(现场可编程门阵列)这么火，但我相信一定有很多人，不知道FP(现场可编程)的定义吧。我把在维基百科(这几天竟然能上了，真奇怪啊)找到的定义摘录下来，做个备忘，呵呵。

An electronic device or embedded system is said to be field-programmable or in-place programmable if its firmware (stored in non-volatile memory, such as ROM) can be modified "in the field," without disassembling the device or returning it to its manufacturer.
