Embedded Systems Hardware Design Boot Camp for the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC

Our exclusive class thoroughly covers modules from these Xilinx® courses:

This course is designed to bring FPGA designers up to speed developing embedded systems using the Vivado® Design Suite. The features and capabilities of the Zynq® UltraScale+ MPSoC and the Zynq-7000 SoC are covered in lectures, demonstrations and labs, along with general embedded concepts, tools and techniques. Additionally, advanced embedded topics included in this course cover the implementation of level 1 and level 2 device drivers, Asynchronous Multiprocessing (AMP), and Xilinx’s embedded operating system, PetaLinux. The hands-on labs utilizing actual Xilinx ZCU104 Evaluation Boards provide students with experience designing, expanding and modifying an embedded system, including booting techniques and hardware-software co-debugging.

This is an advanced class. Those not meeting the prerequisites will struggle.
