$299/Day - Designing FPGAs Using the Vivado Design Suite 1

Designing FPGAs Using the Vivado Design Suite 1

BLT offers Vivado Boot Camp for the FPGA User Phase 1: FPGA Essentials – Architecture, Memory and IO and Vivado Boot Camp for the FPGA User Phase 2: Tcl Scripting, IP Creation and Debugging which contain modules from this course.

This course offers introductory training on the Xilinx® Vivado® Design Suite and helps you to understand the FPGA design flow.

For those uninitiated to FPGA design, this course helps in designing an FPGA design, which includes creating a Vivado Design Suite project with source files, simulating the design, performing pin assignments, applying basic timing constraints, synthesizing, implementing, and debugging the design. Finally, the process for generating and downloading bitstream on a demo board is also covered.
