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...
I have decided to create a small introduction to the concept of using fixed point representation in FPGA for DSP Operations. Because naturally in RTL design (VHDL, Verilog), there is no standard data format such as “integer or float”, but only logic vector...
