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...

Over the last few months, we have explored how to migrate from Spartan-6 FPGAs to 7 series and beyond in order to help developers with...

I am a regular reader of many FPGA notice boards. A few days ago, I saw a question about how the DSP48E2 could be used as a multiplexer....

As I have said several times in this blog, I am a massive fan of the PYNQ framework. We use PYNQ and HLS to accelerate our development...

A couple of weeks ago I received the Mimas and Narvi development boards from Numato Labs, both containing Xilinx 7 series devices. The...

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...

I’m a big fan of the Raspberry Pi Pico with the RP2040 microcontroller and have used it several times to emulate system interfaces on my...

FIFOs are versatile tools to use within our designs because they enable us to buffer data when doing signal and image processing. We also...

Both the AMD-Xilinx MPSoC and Versal ACAP families have complex internal power structures which consists of domains like the Full Power...

We introduced partial reconfiguration using very simple RTL a couple of weeks ago. In this blog, we are going to look at how to create a...

A couple of week ago, I held several webinars on how to convert Spartan-6 designs into 7 series devices. There were several interesting...

Getting the most efficient utilization of our FPGA does not mean that we need to have the logic resources dedicated to all use cases. We...

Last week we looked at IDELAY2 and ODELAY2 in 7 series IO, the selectIO which is included in 7 Series, UltraScale and UltraScale+...

One of the greatest things about FPGAs is their IO flexibility. This flexibility allows us to recover high-speed signals, align data...

In order to effectively architect solutions in Versal devices, we first need to understand how each of the elements within the device can...

A few months ago, Xilinx released official Ubuntu images for the ZCU102, ZCU104, and ZCU106 evaluation kits certified by canonical and...

Throughout the nine years I’ve been doing this blog, the majority, if not all, of the examples and Hackster projects have been...

In the first instalment of this Versal miniseries, I briefly introduced the architecture of the Versal devices before showing a simple...

Over the years, I have created MicroBlaze solutions for many Xilinx devices including Spartan-6, 7 series and up. Inserting a MicroBlaze...

One of areas I started to explore last year, but never got chance to write more than a single blog on was Versal and the VMK180...
