Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) works by moving the Aperture (antenna) through space and compiling a result based on a compilation of the varying views of the data captured. As such, SAR processing involves demanding, high-throughput computations, especially when resolution, latency, and scalability are critical. To demonstrate what’s possible with the AMD Versal Adaptive SoC, AMD … Continued

When debugging FPGA designs, simple triggers often don’t cut it. Complex designs frequently require capturing data only after a specific sequence of events or when multiple signals meet intricate conditions. This is where advanced triggering with trigger state machines (TSMs) comes into play, giving engineers powerful control over when and how data capture starts within … Continued

What starts as a simple task can quickly spiral into something far more complex—whether it's home repairs, birthday parties, or, unfortunately, Finite State Machines (FSMs). In Hardware Description Language (HDL), it’s easy to keep adding states—“wait” states, nested states, and so on. While these states are meant to simplify logic and improve maintainability, they often … Continued
