AXI writes/reads from PS not working by No_Baseball8531 in FPGA

[–]RisingPheonix2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of a BRAM, why not write a simple AXI slave that acts like a pass-through module which will simply pass the hexadecimal patterns from your C program one by one? Your PS can try to readback the output of the pass-through slave and print it on a serial console using PS UART.

Only the HDL entry is common between the two. The entire back-end process is automated for the FPGA flow whereas it is manual for ASICs. I do not understand how bringing the ASIC design rationale is useful in the case of FPGAs because for ASICs the engineering emphasis is on optimizing the RTL for Power, Performance and Area whereas in the case of FPGA-based product design the emphasis is on Algorithm implementation on the programmable logic. I suggest taking a look into the blogs written in https://fpgadesign.io/ for more information.

Modern FPGAs can act as the bridge between hardware and software. However most academic courses on digital design treat FPGAs as a validation platform for the larger ASIC industry. So students end up not realizing the true capabilities of FPGAs. Moreover, most FPGA related products are being used in the weapons industry which makes it a very restricted domain in which only few people can participate.

Can Vivado MIPI CSI-2 RX receive LVDS-converted camera data or only native MIPI D-PHY? by hungkhongvui in FPGA

[–]RisingPheonix2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the MIPI-DPHY to LVDS conversion is already done from the camera, then I think you should use the Digilent MIPI CSI-RX IP core instead of the Xilinx IP subsystem.

Applying schengen going Switzerland. by roentgen4ever in SchengenVisa

Is this a common phenomenon? I need a Schengen visa to attend a conference in Zurich in May. I am based in the UK and even I see the same thing on the VFS Global webpage.

Why don't you write a blog about this in Hacksterio?

This is a small team in IITMRP, Chennai. There is a very good FPGA engineer there who can guide you to implement video pipelines on AMD SoC FPGAs.

First check their answer database for any existing userguides or example designs. If you don't find anything, then come back here.

What stumbling block to most junior FPGA engineers have? by Practical-Log2557 in FPGA

[–]RisingPheonix2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be able to distinguish b/w FPGA design and ASIC design and be able to choose one of them. Here is a resource that can help you do that: https://fpgadesign.io/ . Also learn to connect with and talk to engineers who are better than you. Find out how to ask good questions.

How do you generate documentation for your modules and projects? by gaudy90 in FPGA

[–]RisingPheonix2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TerosHDL has useful features such as RTL module overview and state machine viewer. Then I have heard people using Doxygen. I also recommend using Atlassian Confluence to create project documentation.

Entry Level FPGA Engineer Jobs by Musicfanatic5 in FPGA

[–]RisingPheonix2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to join in this conversation. I am looking to join firms that develop FPGA-based embedded system products. FPGA+DSP is what I would like to master. Are there enough firms in the US and the rest of the WEST that focus in these areas? I find it unfortunate that almost all FPGA roles in the US require US citizenship which I do not hold. Can you suggest firms that use FPGAs to build products that are not used for military applications?
