One of the biggest challenges you might face if you want to start working with Alveo either on premises or in the cloud is to identify...

The great thing about FPGAs is that they allow us to create very efficient interfaces for a range of applications. I recently came across...

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

Readers of this blog will know I am a big supporter of system on modules (SoM). From the MicroZed to the UltraZed, Snickerdoodle and of...

We’ve looked at the platform management unit (PMU) on the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC several times before and especially for inter-process...

This week at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023, AMD announced the next in the series of their very popular Kria SOM platform, the K24. The Kria K24...

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

Last week we looked at how we could use spidev and I2Cdev to work with devices which use SPI or I2C interfaces. These are commonly used...

One of the great things about programmable logic is its versatility. It is at the heart of a range of systems from handheld embedded...

As we have discussed several times in this blog, programmable logic is ideal for the development of image processing systems due to its...

Over the last few weeks, we have looked at some interesting aspects of the 7 series and UltraScale / UltraScale+ clocking buffers. To...

In September 2013, I was about to start a new role, as head of electronics at a space imaging developer when what should arrive in the...

While writing the HDL is often the easy element of FPGA development, the most challenging and time-consuming element can be verification....

We looked at fixed point math a few weeks ago and we’ve also previously looked at how we can use DSP48 in both 7 series and UltraScale+...

You might have noticed several posts on the Avnet ZUBoard 1CG over the last six months. This board contains an AMD Xilinx ZU1CG MPSoC...

In addition to questions about the best beginner development boards, I am often asked which books I recommend for FPGA developers just...

One of the questions I get asked a lot is which development board is the best for (beginner) FPGA and SOC development. Understandably,...

We often use finite state machines (FSM) when we want to implement control structures in our programmable logic structures. As complexity...

Over the last few weeks, we have been working to create a simple system which allows debugging from a UART into an AXI Lite network. This...

For many applications, selecting the most appropriate device is critical. Many of our clients are often questioning which device they...
