Vitis FastTrack: Session 2 – AI

DEPRECATED COURSE: This course is older and no longer offered with our regular course list. It is only available as a private class.

BLT’s Vitis FastTrack series demonstrates the tools and techniques required for both software and hardware accelerated design using the Vitis Unified Software platform.

Learn how Vitis helps accelerate C, C++, and AI applications for cloud, edge, and embedded designs in a single suite. Learn how to migrate existing SDK projects and develop, debug, and profile new or existing C/C++ and RTL applications in the Vitis unified software environment targeting both embedded and cloud applications.

Skills Gained

After completing this comprehensive training, you will know how to:

  • Implement an effective software design environment for a Xilinx embedded system using the Vitis unified software platform
