Designing FPGAs Using the Vivado Design Suite 2

BLT offers Vivado Boot Camp for the FPGA User Phase 2: Tcl Scripting, IP Creation and Debugging which contains modules from this Xilinx® course.

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.
