The Versal™ adaptive SoC from AMD is multi-featured, offering unprecedented system level performance and integration. 

Join us for this FREE workshop which provides a system-level understanding of AMD Versal™ adaptive SoC memory interfaces.

Memory controller architecture, IP generation, simulation, and implementation are covered as well as additional info on PCB design issues.

The workshop is designed to maximize individual engagement and learning.  Each attendee is encouraged to informally ask pertinent questions throughout, to actively participate in the learning process. 

Hardware developers, system architects and anyone who wants to learn about the tools and techniques available to debug Versal adaptive SoC devices.

The workshop will provide you with an understanding of:

  • The building blocks of the DDRMC in AMD Versal devices
  • The ports and attributes of the DDRMC
  • Designing, simulating, and implementing designs using the hardened memory controller
  • Utilizing DDR4/LPDDR4 debugging options
  • Applying performance tuning options for linear and random traffic
  • Memory interface board design requirements

The workshop has been created to be accessible by a wide audience with standard technology requirements.

Delivered across 2 half-day sessions the workshop contains the following topics:

  • Versal Adaptive SoC: Architecture Overview 
    Provides an introduction to the Versal architecture.
  • Memory Solutions Overview
    Identifies the external memory interfaces options for the Versal
    adaptive SoC and describes the main features of the hard and
    soft controllers. 
  • DDR4 and LPDDR4 Memories
    Discusses the DDR4 architectural and interface improvements
    and describes the LPDDR4 differences from DDR4. 
  • DDRMC Hardened Memory Controller
    Describes the architecture and functionality of the DDRMC and
    the PHY block. 
  • Configuring the DDRMC Hard Controller
    Covers how to perform DDRMC configuration and provides
    background information for selecting optimal parameters.
  • Simulating the DDRMC Hard Controller
    Illustrates how to perform DDRMC simulation and describes the
    creation of test benches. 
  • Implementing the DDRMC Hard Controller
    Demonstrates how to perform DDRMC implementation with a
    brief discussion of the pin planning process. 
  • DDRMC Performance Tuning
    Discusses quality of service (QoS) and bandwidth aspects and
    provides a detailed description of performance tuning options.
  • Debugging Memory Interfaces
    Outlines various options to debug memory interfaces. 
  • DDR4 Soft Controller
    Reviews the basic architecture and functionality of the DDR4 soft
    controller and describes the traditional design flow for all soft
    controllers. 
  • Memory Interfaces PCB Design
    Describes board design issues involving signal integrity, the
    power supply, reference clocking, and trace design. 

Please come prepared to actively participate and engage directly with the workshop facilitator.
