Xilinx University Program - DSP for FPGA Primer Workshop Teaching Material (Workbook + Notes + Lab Files)

The aim for DSP for FPGAs Primer workbook is: • To allow all users experience of using the entire toolchain from DSP algorithm concept to FPGA implementation. After completing this workbook you will be able to: • Understand fundamental DSP algorithms for FPGA implementation; • Be aware of the FPGA hardware for implementation of DSP algorithms; • Know how to use Simulink and SystemGenerator for the simulation of DSP algorithms, architectures and systems • Know how to correctly design a DSP system with knowledge of issues relating to wordlengths, overflow, saturation, wraparound and so on. • Be able to take a design from Simulink System Generator implementation to Xilinx ISE tools. • Know how to use Xilinx ISE tools to synthesize and place and route the design. • Know how to use the Xilinx FPGA editor to inspect the actual hardware implementation with respect to on-chip hardware. • Know how to perform hardware-in-the-loop simulation. • Know how to run DSP algorithms on the XUP Virtex 2 Pro board. Software Required: The following software is required to complete the various examples in this workbook: 1. MatLab Release 14, Simulink 6 2. Xilinx System Generator v7.1 3. Xilinx ISE Tools v7.1 + ServicePack 3 + IP update; 4. Xilinx Chipscope v7.1
