Streaming Data from Software to Hardware

Design the data-path from an embedded processor to hardware logic (FPGA) using SoC Blockset™. Design and simulate the entire application comprising of FPGA and processor algorithms, memory interface, and task scheduling to meet the system requirements. Then, validate the design on hardware by generating code from the model and implementing it on a System-on-Chip (SoC) device.

Triggering Software Tasks by FPGA Interrupts

Model an algorithm partitioned between hardware and software. The hardware IP is implemented in FPGA fabric, and triggers a software task implemented in the embedded processor. Design, simulate, and implement a complete design on SoC hardware.

Random Access of External Memory

Model external memory accesses from FPGA for rotating an ASCII art image. Many applications require FPGA to access memory in random fashion as per the requirements of algorithm. You will learn how to design memory address generation along with other AXI4 master signals to read and write specific regions of memory using SoC Blockset. You will simulate, implement and verify your design on hardware.
