Vitis™ FastTrack Series
Vitis™ FastTrack Series
DEPRECATED COURSE: This course is older and no longer offered with our regular course list. It is only available as a private class.
BLT’s Vitis™ FastTrack series demonstrates the tools and techniques required for both software and hardware accelerated design using the Vitis™ Unified Software platform.
Learn how Vitis™ helps accelerate C, C++, and AI applications for cloud, edge, and embedded designs in a single suite. Learn how to migrate existing SDK projects and develop, debug, and profile new or existing C/C++ and RTL applications in the Vitis™ unified software environment targeting both embedded and cloud applications.
Skills Gained
