Editor’s Note – In this series, we will take a behind the scenes look at how an engineer tackles a project from beginning to end. What challenges will come up? …
What Is the Difference Between UltraScale+ EG and EV? Last year, we unveiled our Genesys ZU UltraScale + MPSoC, playfully dubbed our “kitchen sink board” because it has everything (except for …
In 2021, we brought forward the idea of Embedded Measurement, the name we gave to describe the current convergence of benchtop instruments with the flexibility and agility of embedded systems …

The ability to optimize the verification process of embedded systems is helpful for small and medium-sized projects, but it also provides significant benefits to system-on-chip processes at larger OEMs as …
Portable Prototyping If you’re a student enrolled in a course that asks you to use an Analog Discovery 2 to continue projects at home, then this scenario hits home: You …
Earlier this year, we learned that VAXEL-EZ was deployed to help a team of engineers who had been developing a powerful new tool that converts C++ models to register-transfer level …
The First Expansion to the Zmod Family In early 2020, Digilent released the Eclypse Z7 development board, which provided two SYZYGY-compatible connection ports. SYZYGY is a relatively new interface standard …
Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite made its debut in 2012 as an integrated design environment for embedded development. More recently, the semiconductor company released its Vitis platform, which subsequently also includes …
It seems as if every time we’re approaching the boundaries of technology’s influence on our culture, a new development, trend, or exciting innovation pushes those boundaries even further, launching even …
Will Wadkins, Digilent’s FPGA Product Manager, discusses how Digilent is beginning to enter the software-defined radio space with the introduction of the USRP B205mini-i.
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. …
At OTH Regensburg, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heiko Unold has spent years finding new ways to connect engineering theory with hands-on experimentation. By integrating the Analog Discovery platform across multiple courses, he …
Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are digital devices. They can’t read a voltage directly. To bring an analog signal into an FPGA, you need an ADC, short for analog-to-digital converter. You …
UMN Students Build a Rubidium Magneto-Optical Trap POSM students are gaining hands-on experience in optics, electronics, and precision measurement while building infrastructure for advanced photonics research. Building a rubidium magneto-optical …
With no class requiring it and no board experience going in, one engineering student designed a five-stage pipelined MIPS processor from scratch in VHDL and ran it on a Digilent …
