When can FPGA's be used and Microcontrollers/DSPs not?


I have to choose between a course on advanced microcontrollers and a course on advanced FPGA's.



I have had introductory courses in both subjects, and what troubles me now is that I am already pretty good at firmware development for microcontrollers, and I fail to see what products/projects I can make with an FPGA and cannot with an microcontroller/DSP.


Can you come up with some applications/products/projects where a microcontroller or DSP wouldn't be sufficient, and why?


Cameras? High-speed cameras? High-speed image processing?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
