Re:Build your own FPGA (2012) by hervature on Wednesday June 28, 2017 @12:26AM (#14651678)
As the others have pointed out the technical details, the high level difference is that FPGA's are typically volatile and hence lose their programing once there is a power loss. CPLD's have non-volatile memory that allow for hard reseting and so are used in environments that need fault tolerance (factories, airplanes, etc.).
