Training gives engineers head start in mastering design flows using Xilinx’s Vivado Design Suite
Avnet (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, today announced that video
presentations of the four-part MiniZed SpeedWay Design Workshops™ interactive
series, launched in the fourth quarter of 2017, are now also
available online for free, on-demand viewing at ZedBoard.org.
The MiniZed SpeedWay Design Workshops are designed to help engineers
jump start the development of single-core Xilinx® Zynq®-7000
All Programmable SoC devices using the Avnet MiniZed™ Zynq
SoC development kit, a cost-optimized prototyping platform for embedded
vision and Industrial IoT systems. The workshops teach developers the
basics of both hardware and software integration using the MiniZed
platform, as well as the latest design flows from Xilinx’s Vivado®
Design Suite. The training also provides participants with techniques to
integrate the HTU21D peripheral module from TE Connectivity (TE), a
global leader in connectivity and sensor solutions.
Avnet will continue to offer the live MiniZed SpeedWay Design Workshops
in select locations throughout North America, Europe and Asia during the
first half of 2018. For those customers who cannot attend the live
events, or those who are interested in refresher course, available
on-demand resources will include two introductory courses: Developing
Zynq Hardware and Developing Zynq Software, as well as two
advanced course offerings for more experienced designers: Integrating
Sensors on MiniZed with PetaLinux and A Practical Guide to
Getting Started with Xilinx SDSoC
™
.
Avnet’s MiniZed Zynq SoC development kit showcases the power of the
single-core Xilinx® Zynq®-7000 All Programmable
SoC devices, which feature a single-core ARM® Cortex™-A9
processor paired with 28nm Artix®-7 based programmable logic.
MiniZed features on-board connectivity through USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth,
and a design compact enough to fit into a shirt pocket. Peripherals can
be plugged into dual Pmod-compatible connectors, the Arduino-compatible
shield interface or the USB 2.0 host interface.
For more information on the individual videos or to register for live
events, visit Avnet’s
SpeedWay training and events page or the
ZedBoard.org training site. To follow along with the lab segments,
viewers will need a MiniZed
Development Board and TE
HTU21D Temperature and Humidity Sensor Evaluation Kit. Visit the www.minized.org
site for MiniZed development kit tutorials and to join the MiniZed
community where users can collaborate with other engineers also working
on Zynq designs.
