Regular readers will know I am big fan of the System of Module approach,  we design many into systems and solution for out clients and if...

One of things which helps us accelerate our development times is to leverage model based development. This enables us to work at a higher...

Over a Over a series of blogs we have been exploring the Alveo V80 board, the Alveo Versal Example Design (AVED) its constituent parts...

FPGAs are commonly used across a range of applications from Space, and Aerospace to Automotive, Robotics, and Commercial applications....

A few weeks ago, someone asked me on LinkedIn if I would write a blog about what I do on an average day. The reality is that since...

So far on our journey of exploring the Alveo V80 we have examined the hardware and software elements necessary for creating the AVED...

Last week we examined how we could work with Git and source control on our FPGA designs. Along with working with Git for source control,...

One of the skills which FPGA developers need to master is that of working with source control tools such as git. A few months ago I...

One of the things I love about all AMD FPGA and SoC devices is the inclusion of the XADC / Sysmon ADC. This allows us to monitor not only...

In our previous blog we introduced the Renesas ForgeFPGA, in this blog we are going to walk though the creation of a simple project using...

One of the FPGAs I have wanted to examine since it was announced is the new Renesas ForgeFPGA. These devices offer developers a...

Over the years, I have worked on a range of engineering projects in various roles, from being the FPGA engineer, hardware engineer to the...

Over the last few months we have been experimenting with the Colonge Chip GateMAte FPGA on the original development board along with the...

One of the major differences with the Alveo V80 accelerator card is the implementation of the satellite controller. The satellite...

Last week, we examined the new MicroBlaze V , which is based on the popular RISC-V RV32I Instruction Set Architecture. This enabled me to...

One of the things I have been very excited about recently is the MicroBlaze RISC-V or MicroBlaze V as it will be known.  The MicroBlaze V...

Last week, we looked at  how we could create a baseline timing closure , which hopefully helps with achieving timing closure. Of course,...

In our first blog and introduction to the new Alveo V80, we examined the features and capabilities of the board itself. In this blog we...

There are many factors that come together to create a successful FPGA design. Not only do we need to have a sensible architecture, IP...
