This time, I have decided to create a small and simple demo in order to show how to simulate PCIe interface (Without any DMA or PCIe bridge) for Xilinx devices as the PCIe is slowly becoming a standardized interface for FPGA in most applications from consumer...
The times when designers used to calculate and adjust manually delays across PCBs to match a device’s requirements (Such as a memory or ADC/DAC interface) for a few megatransfers / second are definitely over nowadays. Even though they are still used on some...
When I started to learn how to write linux kernel drivers, the very first suggestion was to avoid writing them. I dont have the same recommendation for anybody – writing linux kernel drivers requires some additional knowledge, precision and patience, but its not...
Most of newer ADCs and DACs tend to use the JESD204b/c standards simply due to higher performance requirements – the ever growing need for more usable bandwidth, faster ADCs and DACs with increased resolution per sample and multi-channel implementations....
Using the Build-in Vivado Simulator or QuestaSim or any other simulator is great for analyzing the RTL and verification of FSMs, signals flow, control and interfacing through I2C, SPI, AXI … Whats a little bit more tricky is the verification of DSP blocks, Filters,...
Petalinux is the Xilinx’s toolchain used for creating whole embedded Linux system for Xilinx devices. It is a convenient way of building all blocks necessary to create the bootable image for the targeted platform. But lets go to the very beginning. What you need for...
