Designing FPGAs Using the Vivado™ Design Suite 2
Designing FPGAs Using the Vivado™ Design Suite 2
This course shows you how to build an effective FPGA design using synchronous design techniques, using the Vivado™ IP integrator to create a sub-system, using proper HDL coding techniques to improve design performance, and debugging a design with multiple clock domains.
Skills Gained
After completing this comprehensive training, you will know how to:
- Create a Tcl script to create a project, add sources, and implement a design
- Describe and use the clock resources in a design
- Build resets into your system for optimum reliability and design speed
- Apply timing exception constraints in a design as part of the Baselining procedure to fine tune the design
- Use the Vivado™ IP integrator to create a block design
- Create and package your own IP and add to the Vivado™ IP catalog to reuse
- Describe the HLx design flow that increases productivity
- Debug a design with multiple clock domains with the help of multiple debug cores using the Vivado™ logic analyzer
- Identify synchronous design techniques
- Describe how an FPGA is configured
Course Outline
Day 1
- UltraFast® Design Methodology: Design Creation and Analysis
Overview of the methodology guidelines covered in this course. - Synchronous Design Techniques
Introduces synchronous design techniques used in an FPGA design. - Resets
Investigates the impact of using asynchronous resets in a design. - Register Duplication
Use register duplication to reduce high fanout nets in a design. - Scripting in Vivado™ Design Suite Project Mode
Explains how to write Tcl commands in the project-based flow for a design. - Clocking Resources
Describes various clock resources, clocking layout, and routing in a design. - I/O Logic Resources
Overview of I/O resources and the IOB property for timing closure. - Creating and Packaging Custom IP
