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? …
You may have heard about VAXEL ZERO, the FPGA configuration/operation automation solution that runs on Windows PCs. VAXEL ZERO was developed by a group of seasoned RTL design verification engineers …
Constraining Ports in Block Designs In Vivado block designs, there are a couple of different ways to manage the inputs and outputs of your design and which FPGA pin locations they are connected to. …
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 …
Getting a Job in FPGA FPGA engineers like solving tough problems and have a passion for using the latest technology to create new products. Here’s some information about the FPGA …
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 …
Today we will go over a brief overview on FPGAs!
The USB104 A7 is a new addition to the Digilent ecosystem. At first glance it may seem similar to some of our existing FPGA development boards, but the USB104 A7 …
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 …
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 …
The Best SDR Projects: From Amateur Radio to Satellite Tracking Software defined radio (SDR) is a digital window into signals you normally can’t see. Aircraft, ships, satellites, utility meters, amateur …
Most wireless tools are built for one job. A dedicated spectrum analyzer monitors frequencies. A GPS receiver locks onto satellites. A protocol tester checks a specific wireless standard. Each device …
Software-defined radio (SDR) has transformed the way engineers, researchers, and students interact with wireless systems. Instead of relying on fixed hardware to perform radio functions, SDR platforms move much of …
