development, high-speed communication protocols, and high-performance DSP
design.
Pre-Register for Free, Hands-On Workshops
Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Xilinx workshops, ESC
attendees are urged to sign-up in advance for the 90-minute workshops. A
free development kit will be raffled at each session. Visit the Xilinx
registration desk at ESC booth #1138 to be added to the onsite wait list:
-- Build Linux OS Applications with the MicroBlaze Processor
In this workshop, designers can learn how to build a customized
embedded Linux operating system application using the Xilinx(R)
MicroBlaze(TM) processor on a low-cost Spartan-3 FPGA to create a
flexible, custom microcontroller design with Ethernet interface and
configure, build and boot Linux on the board.
Tuesday, April 15, 9 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m.
-- Advances in PowerPC Processor Embedded Development on Virtex FPGAs
An overview of Virtex-5 FXT FPGA enhanced PowerPC(R) 440 processor
system architecture, performance advantages, co-processor acceleration,
and Xilinx solutions for system implementation and debug. Using Xilinx
tools, designers will learn how to implement a PowerPC processor
system and software application utilizing a coprocessor accelerator.
Wednesday, April 16, 10 a.m., 12 p.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m.
-- Building Flexible Signal Processing Applications with XtremeDSP
Solutions
