In this hands on workshop run by Digilent’s Sam Bobrowicz, you’ll spend time learning some advanced FPGA applications using the Arty board and Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite. Participants will use a Microblaze soft core processor along with a library of pre-built IP blocks to design a custom microcontroller and implement it inside an Artix-7 FPGA. Graphical design tools and a standard C-programming environment will be used, this workshop will not involve writing HDL. Bring a laptop computer capable of running Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite. An Arty board is included in your signup fee.
