Last week we examined how we could use the IEEE VHDL 2008 fixed and floating packages to implement a simple polynomial approximation.  ...

FPGA are excellent for image processing, their parallel nature easily allows us to implement parallel processing stages. Over the years...

In our last blog we discussed an E Ink / ePaper driver that I had designed. Today we are going to discuss how to integrate it with a Zynq...

Learning how to develop FPGAs and embedded systems can be a challenge so I like to think that this blog has provided significant support...

If you’ve been working with Vitis 2023.1, you’ll already be aware that a new Vitis Unified Integrated Design Environment (IDE) was...

Over the last few weeks, we have been looking at how we can effectively work with PetaLinux using the ZUBoard as the reference platform....

Regular readers of this blog and my Hackster projects will note that I tend to use either bare metal applications or PYNQ when developing...

Clocking is at the heart of every FPGA design.. We can spend a lot less time battling the tools if we get the clock architecture right,...

Last week we looked at configuring and deploying multi-gigabit GTH transceivers using the GTH wizard. One of the key things when using...

One of the great features about the new Avnet ZU1CG board is the interfacing it provides. It gives us three SYZYGY interfaces along with...

Last week we examined the Video Frame Buffer Write (VFBW), which is capable of writing image frames to an external memory. This week, we...

When I’ve previously created image processing blogs or applications, I have tended to use the Video Direct Memory Access (VDMA) module to...

Ever since the previous overview, I’ve had the Avnet ZUBoard 1CG sitting on my desk. I also just purchased a FLIR C5 thermal imaging...

Implementing a MicroBlaze processor in a FPGA design is very popular in many applications. The MicroBlaze allows us to handle serial...

One of the critical techniques in an embedded system that enables responsive software is using interrupts. In this series, we have used...

One of the projects we are working on now is battery powered and only acts when awakened on a set schedule. This requires the Zynq-7000...

We looked at the AXI Virtual FIFO Controller in a blog a couple weeks ago and created an example design running on the Arty S7-50 while...

The Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit is great for embedded vision applications and AI acceleration. Several of my clients, however, have...

If I’m being honest, my university classes on control engineering were not my favorite. However, working as an engineer – and especially...

As I mentioned in last week’s blog, I want to spend some time discussing OpenCL because being able to work with OpenCL is going to be an...
