AMD - DSP Design for FPGAs with MATLAB and Vitis HLS

Training duration: 2 days

Course Description

AMD Vitis™ Model Composer is the updated version of DSP System Generator and now provides support for HDL, HLS (High Level Synthesis) and AIE (AI Engine) development. Discover how this powerful combination of tools gives you the capability to develop advanced, low-cost DSP designs.

This course focuses on:

  • Implementing DSP functions using Model Composer (MathWorks MATLAB® and Simulink®) for optimized FPGA IP
  • Leveraging HLS support within Model Composer
  • Utilizing design implementation tools
  • Verifying through hardware co-simulation

System engineers, system designers, logic designers, and experienced hardware engineers who are implementing DSP algorithms using the MathWorks MATLAB and Simulink software and want to use AMD Model Composer and or Vitis HLS for DSP design.

  • Experience with the MATLAB and Simulink software
  • Overview of HLS design flow
  • Basic understanding of sampling theory
  • Vivado™ Design Suite System Edition
  • Vitis Model Composer (formerly System Generator)
  • Vitis HLS tool
  • Vitis unified software platform
  • MATLAB with Simulink software
  • Architecture: 7 series and UltraScale™ FPGAs
  • Demo board:Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC ZCU104 board*
*Check with Doulos for the specifics of the in-class lab board or other customizations. The ZCU104 board is required for the "AXI4-Lite Interface Synthesis" lab.
