Some time ago, we had an old NES controller floating around the office. It wasn’t your run-of-the-mill NES controller, though – it had been “tampered” with. Instead of the normal …
One lucky user was tasked to see what the Genesys ZU was capable of.
Pablo at ControlPaths.com has written a guide for creating a custom AXI IP using the Genesys ZU, but any Zynq MPSoC will do. We’re partial to the Genesys ZU though. …
The Arty S7, our FPGA development board using the cost efficient Xilinx Spartan 7, gives users plenty of I/O and expansion options to work with. Since its inception in 2018, …
Pablo from controlpaths.com lent his expertise in Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and applied it to our Eclypse Z7 board (using the SYZYGY Zmod ADC and DAC, and Xilinx’s xFFT IP). …
In the world of artificial intelligence (AI), the recognition of handwritten digits proves that you got your neurons right and in working condition. This application of AI is already quite …
A discussion of how ground potential differences can (and will) effect oscilloscope measurements.
Picture this scenario: you need to develop an embedded vision application – something like an object detection system or real time digital video processing – but you don’t have the …
Create a unique lightshow experience with the Pmod KYPD and Arduino!
Delve deeper into Ian’s beverage can Theramin project with this examination of an oscillator.
Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such as filtering, modulation, demodulation, signal generation, …
Most students do not struggle with equations. They struggle with understanding what those equations actually do. In many learning environments, students define a system, run a process, and then interpret …
If you’re choosing between an FPGA and a SoC, the real question is not which one is “better.” It’s which one fits the job in front of you. Here is …
You open a Verilog example, launch Vivado for the first time, or start reading for a digital design course, and one term keeps showing up: RTL. It usually appears as …
