Description
This two-part tutorial will introduce the audience to FPGA tools and
techniques that provide the ability to efficiently design, integrate, and test high
performance digital systems. The first half of the tutorial will cover hardware design
techniques and tools currently available from industry such as Xilinx ISE Foundation,
PlanAhead Design Analysis, and ChipScope. The second half of the tutorial will cover
advanced techniques and tools for complex digital system design, testing, and integration
such as the Dataflow Interchange Format (DIF), the DSPCAD Integrative Command Line
Environment (DICE), and Subversion (SVN) repositories.
Tutorial participants will be introduced to tools and techniques for FPGA-based design,
see examples of efficient HDL coding, testing, and integration practices, gain experience
with using the tools, and. obtain an understanding of FPGA tool capabilities and
challenges Although the focus of the tutorial will be on FPGA-based systems, many of
the tools and techniques presented can also be used to design, test, and integrate ASICs,
embedded software, and other types of digital system. No previous experience with
FPGA design is required.
