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? …
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. …
In December of last year, Stanford’s Neerav Dixit, John Pauly, and Grieg Scott published a paper on thermo-acoustic ultrasound (TAUS) for noninvasive temperature monitoring. So why are we excited about …
“A promising new FPGA connectivity solution is here.” Steve Johnson, President, Digilent, Inc. For engineers working with FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) for high-speed control, signal processing, or test and measurement applications, a …
Cut through the noise and save yourself a trip to the lab with the Analog Discovery 2!
How SDR Works: Understanding the Mechanics of the SDR Signal Chain Software-defined radio (SDR) has transformed the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with wireless systems. Instead of relying on …
What Is SDR (Software Defined Radio)? Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that performs many traditional radio functions in software instead of dedicated hardware circuits. Tasks such …
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 …
