| Optimizing Verilog Coding for More Efficient FPGA Synthesis | Lattice FPGA Families |
4/09/08 |
FPGA designers who target low-cost systems are attempting to pack as much logic as possible into FPGA devices and at the same time need the best performance possible. In this presentation, Lattice provides practical advice on how to write Verilog code that will produce the most efficient implementation in FPGA devices. It will cover detailed do's and don'ts of synthesis coding styles and illustrate the optimization differences with actual FPGA area and timing results. |
| Low-Cost FPGA with SERDES - LatticeECP2M | LatticeECP2M FPGA Family |
-- |
Multi-gigabit serial I/O standards like PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet are becoming very popular with system designers, but until recently, only very expensive FPGAs supported these standards. In this webcast Amelia Dalton – host of Journal Webcasts – chats with Bertrand Leigh of Lattice about low-cost FPGAs that bring multi-gigabit serial interface capability to cost-sensitive applications. |
| FPGA Video Interfacing Fundamentals Revisited | Lattice Automotive FPGAs |
3/26/08 |
Practical information on implementing video systems with Lattice FPGAs. Topics include video output devices (imagers, DVD players), signaling and cabling between devices, connections to LCD displays and video controller systems. The webcast provides specific examples of how FPGAs can provide optimized video processing. |
| Industrial Ethernet IEEE 1588 from Oregano Systems for Lattice FPGA | Intellectual Property - Lattice IP Cores and Reference Designs |
3/19/08 |
The IEEE 1588 standard specifies a solution to network time synchronization that is now used by a number of industrial Ethernet protocols. This presentation discusses this issue and presents the IEEE 1588 solution with a range of implementation options. The IP solution offered by Oregano Systems for Lattice devices is also covered. |
| Using RTOSes on FPGAs - Why and How | LatticeMico32 Soft Microprocessor | 3/12/08 | FPGAs have traditionally been viewed as hardware implemented in programmable logic, and in recent years the advent of soft microprocessors on FPGAs include execution of application software. The soft microprocessor also makes RTOSes available to the developer. When should a designer consider using an RTOS and how does it help with system implementation? Will it help reduce your time or improve application robustness? What are the trade-offs in terms of memory footprint and speed of execution? How does one implement an RTOS on an FPGA? How does µC/OS-II RTOS from Micrium address these issues? This webcast answers these questions as you consider the implementation of a soft processor on your FPGA. |
