Teaching Materials

Xilinx University Program offers our members full access to the entire set of workshop materials including slides, laboratory exercises as well as the solutions to the exercises. This material may be used in any form that would benefit the professor and students. Solutions to laboratory exercises are available to Professors and teaching staff only.

Professors can gain access to high-quality course materials made available online by academic partners, as well as identify text books useful for teaching courses with Xilinx.

XUP Workshop Materials

• FPGA Design Flow
  This workshop introduces you to the FPGA design flow using ISE® Foundation™ software, and is intended for University faculty who are new to Programmable Logic. During the course of the workshop, you will step through the complete Xilinx design flow from design entry to download. The workshop includes slides and labs to help guide you through the flow.
• Embedded Design Flow
  This workshop brings experienced FPGA designers up to speed on the capabilities and characteristics of the Xilinx MicroBlaze™ 32-bit soft processor core, the hard embedded IBM PowerPC® core in the Virtex®-II Pro FPGA, and the Embedded Development Kit (EDK) design environment. Developing embedded systems using the hard or soft processor cores and a set of soft peripherals is also included in the lectures and labs.
• DSP Design Flow
  This workshop provides an introduction to the advanced tools you need to design and implement DSP algorithms targeting FPGAs. This intermediate workshop in implementing DSP functions focuses on learning how to use System Generator for DSP, as well as HDL design flow, CORE Generator™ software, and design implementation tools. Through hands-on exercises, you will implement a design from algorithm concept to verification.
• DSP Primer
  This workshop covers fundamental and advanced DSP topics, where lab exercises are implemented with System Generator for DSP.
• Embedded Linux on Xilinx MicroBlaze
  The workshop provides university academics with the resources, high level skills and confidence to introduce Embedded Linux on Xilinx MicroBlaze to their teaching and research programs.
