“We have embedded Avnet’s extensive technical expertise into the content
of these seminars, so that engineers at all levels can learn how to
create Zynq-based applications,” said Jim Beneke, vice president of
global technical marketing for Avnet Electronics Marketing. “Due to
Avnet’s size and global footprint, we have the resources and ability to
train and support design teams in multiple regions, countries and
languages.”
“Xilinx is pleased to present these SpeedWay Design Workshops with Avnet
for SoC users and designers,” said Lawrence Getman, vice president of
processing platforms at Xilinx. “We are confident that the deep-dive,
hands-on lab training coupled with comprehensive documentation will
provide attendees valuable new knowledge for utilizing and implementing
the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC in their designs.”
SpeedWay Design WorkshopsTM
This series of SpeedWay Design WorkshopsTM are single-day,
hands-on workshops presented by Avnet technical experts, and feature
labs supported by the ZedBoardTM and MicroZedTM
development platforms. This seminar series is designed for engineers who
want to gain hands-on experience with the tools and techniques that can
be used to implement the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC family.
Engineers can choose to participate in any or all of the following
sessions:
-
Introduction to the Vivado Design Suite: This entry-level
course provides a foundational understanding of the Vivado Design
Suite Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Short presentations
and hands-on labs show attendees how to create a new project, create
and import IP cores, set basic clocking and I/O timing constraints,
synthesize and implement a design, and analyze the results through
Vivado analyzer feature and various design reports.
-
Developing Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC Software: The Xilinx
Software Development Kit (SDK) offers everything necessary to make
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC software application development easy.
This class covers software development including BSP creation,
built-in drivers, example C code, interrupts, debugging, flash
programming, and where to get more help.
-
Developing a Zynq Hardware Platform: This class demonstrates
the hardware and software flows for creating your first Zynq-7000 All
Programmable SoC design. Through a series of instructor presentations
and hands-on labs, hardware and firmware engineers will learn all the
required steps for creating a complete Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC
design on either a ZedBoardTM or MicroZedTM.
-
PetaLinux for the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC: This
intermediate-level course provides embedded systems developers with
experience in creating an embedded Linux operating system on a
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC. Based on the PetaLinux Software
Development Kit (SDK), the course offers students hands-on experience
in building the environment and booting the system using a basic
Zynq-7000 AP SoC design.
-
Designing Accelerators for the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC:
System-on-Chip designs offer the unique advantage of providing custom
built accelerators to increase system performance. This
intermediate-level course introduces attendees to the design flow
required in identifying software bottlenecks and creating custom
hardware accelerators in the Programmable Logic (PL) portion of the
Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC.
Avnet SpeedWay Design WorkshopsTM will take place in more
than 20 cities across the Americas, Europe and Asia, with a cost of $99
each. For more information and to see the locations and course
availability, please visit http://em.avnet.com/xilinxspeedways.
