Teaching Materials

Xilinx University Program offers our members full access to the entire set of workshop materials including slides,
laboratory exercises as well as the solutions to the exercises. This material may be used in any form that would
benefit the professor and students. Solutions to laboratory exercises are available to Professors and teaching
staff only.

Professors can gain access to high-quality course materials made available online by academic partners, as well
as identify text books useful for teaching courses with Xilinx.

 

XUP Workshop Materials

The FPGA Design Flow workshop introduces you to the FPGA design flow using the ISE Foundation
software, and is intended for University faculty who are new to Programmable Logic. During the course
of the workshop, you will step through the complete Xilinx design flow from design entry to download.
The workshop includes slides and labs to help guide you through the flow.

The Embedded Design Flow workshop brings experienced FPGA designers up to speed on the capabilities
and characteristics of the Xilinx MicroBlaze™ 32-bit soft processor core, the hard embedded IBM PowerPC™
core in the Virtex-II Pro™ FPGA, and the Embedded Development Kit (EDK) design environment. Developing
embedded systems using the hard or soft processor cores and a set of soft peripherals is also included in the
lectures and labs.

The DSP Design Flow workshop provides an introduction to the advanced tools you need to design and
implement DSP algorithms targeting FPGAs. This intermediate workshop in implementing DSP functions
focuses on learning how to use System Generator for DSP, as well as HDL design flow, CORE Generator
software, and design implementation tools. Through hands-on exercises, you will implement a design from
algorithm concept to verification.

The DSP Primer workshop covers fundamental and advanced DSP topics, where lab exercises are implemented
with System Generator for DSP.

The Embedded Linux on Xilinx MicroBlaze workshop provides university academics with the resources, high level
skills and confidence to introduce Embedded Linux on Xilinx MicroBlaze to their teaching and research programs.
