Labs
Lab 1: Getting Started with AccelDSP – Learn the basic design flow through the AccelDSP synthesis tool.
Lab 2: Synthesizable MATLAB – Modify an unsynthesizable MATLAB software design into a design that can be synthesized by the AccelDSP synthesis tool.
Lab 3: Quantization – Specify, monitor, and control bit growth in the synthesized design.
Lab 4: Multirate Design – Set up the design to model the effects of decimation by 2. Create a synthesizable polyphase decimation filter in MATLAB software and implement the filter in a XilinxFPGA.
Lab 5: Using AccelWare – Replace a polyphase decimation filter with an equivalent FIRdecim AccelWare™ DSP IP tool kit block.
Lab 6: Design Exploration – Apply the design exploration features of the AccelDSP synthesis tool to optimize a design for area and performance.
Lab 7: Adding Hardware Control – Modify the source of a FIR filter to add a serial coefficients load feature.
Lab 8: Coding for Hardware Performance – Learn MATLAB software coding techniques to take advantage of even-symmetric coefficients and drive performance over 300 MHz.
Lab 9: Synthesizing Complex Numbers – Explore the methods available for synthesizing designs that use complex numbers.
Lab 10: Interfacing to System Hardware – Connect the interface signals generated in the AccelDSP synthesis tool to a larger HDL design.
Lab 11: System Generator Integration – Convert a MATLAB based design into a System Generator block and merge the block into a larger System Generator design.
