FPGA Fundamentals Competency

Agilex™ 5 FPGAs bring the leadership performance/watt of the Agilex™ FPGA portfolio to mid-range FPGA applications. This seminar will introduce the variety of Agilex™ 5 development tools including development kits, Quartus® Prime design software, and system-on-modules (SOMs). Premium and Modular Development kits enable partners to evaluate Agilex™ 5 FPGA features and functionality. The kits allow a mix/match of devices and connector types to serve a variety of applications and allow developers to boot the ARM-based processor subsystem instantly. We will provide details on the broad ecosystem of Agilex™ 5 System-on-Module (SoM) providers. Agilex™ 5 SOMs are integrated, production-ready single-board computers that include memory, power management, common interface controllers that reduce developer time-to-market and risk. Lastly, we will give a brief update of Intel® Partner Alliance FPGA Community.

In this session, we will give a brief overview of new content and organization of the Intel® Partner Alliance FPGA Community. Intel Agilex® 5 FPGAs bring the leadership performance/watt of the Intel Agilex® FPGA portfolio to mid-range FPGA applications. We will illustrate how Agilex 5 FPGAs solve design challenges through adaptability, power-efficient performance, and best-in-class developer tools to increase productivity. We will provide an overview of Intel® oneAPI Toolkits with a focus on the Intel® High Level Synthesis (HLS) flow through Intel® Quartus® Prime Design Software and the types of controls designers have over HLS. We will also review the steps for converting other HLS designs into Intel SYCL HLS designs.

This training is for engineers who have never designed an FPGA before. You will learn about the basic benefits of designing with FPGAs and how to create a simple FPGA design using the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. A software demonstration walks you through the entire process. If you’ve purchased a Cyclone® V GX FPGA Starter Kit from Terasic (http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?Language=English&No=830), you can transfer the programming file created during the tutorial to the development board.

This training will help you gain a high-level understanding of how FPGAs are used to create designs. This will demonstrate an overview of how a design idea is realized on an FPGA device. It also describes at a high level how to understand that FPGAs are programmable hardware, and the Intel® Quartus® software is the enabler for the Intel® FPGA hardware.

This training is designed to provide an understanding of how FPGA technology works and how it came about. This course will first explore the history of logic design and how it led to the creation of the first programmable logic devices. This training will also look at the technologies that make up typical programmable logic devices, past and present.

In this course you will learn how Intel® Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU) provide compute resources for programmable control. You will learn about why IPUs are been favoured to Accelerate Infrastructure Workloads, Intel-Based Cloud/Network/Wireless Acceleration Portfolio; and typical IPU usages across all products.

This course will cover an overview of Intel® OFS hardware and software infrastructure. It will also go over OPAE Software Development Kit for Intel® OFS, followed by, OPAE C++ and Python API for Intel® OFS.

This training helps build an understanding of FPGAs in the world of hardware and its relevance. This will give you the fundamental understanding of FPGA business and the advantages it has over other hardware like ASICs and ASSPs. It compares FPGAs with ASICs and ASSPs and even CPUs. It will discuss FPGA’s broad customer base, the 4 key benefits of using an FPGA, and the importance of Quartus as the software that enables the hardware.
