Versal Adaptive SoCs 101: Quick Start Guide to Integration and Implementation Workshop
Versal Adaptive SoCs 101: Quick Start Guide to Integration and Implementation Workshop
BLT Engineers have successfully deployed designs to Versal devices for Clients. Learn from the experts.
This 4-hour online workshop explores the AMD Versal adaptive SoC heterogeneous architecture containing a programmable network on chip (NoC) and AI Engines and learn how to use different design tool flows targeting Versal devices. Gain knowledge of embedded software development and application partitioning. Also learn how to perform system migration to the Versal architecture.
The emphasis of this course is on:
- Reviewing the architecture of the Versal adaptive SoC
- Describing the different engines available in the Versal architecture and what resources they contain
- Demonstrating the embedded software development flow for Versal devices
- Describing the architectures of the network on chip (NoC) and AI Engine
- Explaining application partitioning based on the models of computation
- Comparing various functional blocks of the Versal devices to previous-generation devices
This course focuses on the Versal adaptive SoC architecture.
