Xilinx University Program - DSP for FPGA Primer Workshop Teaching Material (Workbook + Notes + Lab Files)

The aim for DSP for FPGAs Primer workbook is:
• To allow all users experience of using the entire toolchain from DSP
algorithm concept to FPGA implementation.
After completing this workbook you will be able to:
• Understand fundamental DSP algorithms for FPGA implementation;
• Be aware of the FPGA hardware for implementation of DSP algorithms;
• Know how to use Simulink and SystemGenerator for the simulation of DSP
algorithms, architectures and systems
• Know how to correctly design a DSP system with knowledge of issues
relating to wordlengths, overflow, saturation, wraparound and so on.
• Be able to take a design from Simulink System Generator implementation to
Xilinx ISE tools.
• Know how to use Xilinx ISE tools to synthesize and place and route the
design.
• Know how to use the Xilinx FPGA editor to inspect the actual hardware
implementation with respect to on-chip hardware.
• Know how to perform hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
• Know how to run DSP algorithms on the XUP Virtex 2 Pro board.
