The CEC will get you up to speed quickly on a host of technologies you've been meaning to study via a series of 45-minute online lessons taught by our faculty of expert tutors.
We will start with programming the microcontroller part of the SmartFusion2. This is a standard ARM processor. It can be used for the HMI and for system control functions.
To start we will look at specifying the algorithm to be used in the FPGA and the tools used to verify it. An overview of the whole tool chain and some examples of the initial steps will be presented.
In this final lecture the layout phase of the FPGA process will be developed. This will get us to the point where we can bring it all together. The steps required and the loading process will be covered.
