Designers can experience first-hand the power and flexibility of Xilinx(R) Virtex(R) and Spartan(R) platform FPGAs for embedded system and DSP applications at the Xilinx workshops. Industry experts from Xilinx and its ecosystem providers are also presenting ESC technical sessions on multi-processor architectures, reconfigurability for embedded system development, high-speed communication protocols, and high-performance DSP design.

Pre-Register for Free, Hands-On Workshops

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Xilinx workshops, ESC attendees are urged to sign-up in advance for the 90-minute workshops. A free development kit will be raffled at each session. Visit the Xilinx registration desk at ESC booth #1138 to be added to the onsite wait list:

    --  Build Linux OS Applications with the MicroBlaze Processor
        In this workshop, designers can learn how to build a customized
        embedded Linux operating system application using the Xilinx(R)
        MicroBlaze(TM) processor on a low-cost Spartan-3 FPGA to create a
        flexible, custom microcontroller design with Ethernet interface and
        configure, build and boot Linux on the board.
           Tuesday, April 15, 9 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m.

    --  Advances in PowerPC Processor Embedded Development on Virtex FPGAs
        An overview of Virtex-5 FXT FPGA enhanced PowerPC(R) 440 processor
        system architecture, performance advantages, co-processor acceleration,
        and Xilinx solutions for system implementation and debug. Using Xilinx
        tools, designers will learn how to implement a PowerPC processor
        system and software application utilizing a coprocessor accelerator.
           Wednesday, April 16, 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m.

    --  Building Flexible Signal Processing Applications with XtremeDSP
        Solutions
        Designers can learn more about high-level design techniques for
        building video applications using the new XtremeDSP solution Video
        Starter Kit -- Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Edition. Designers will leave the
        workshop understanding how to use System Generator for DSP to build a
        video processing pipeline and then connect to the MicroBlaze processor
        using Platform Studio.
           Thursday, April 17, 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 2 p.m.
