This is a highly hands-on workshop in which you will learn the FPGA internal architecture and optimize your RTL code according to it. You will learn to use FPGA design tools to create new designs using Verilog and download it on to the FPGA by following the industry standard FPGA design flow. You will also learn to configure new boards (if you already have any) and run desired designs on it. FPGAs can also be used for developing Embedded Systems and in this course you will touch upon those concepts as well. Finally, we will discuss three case studies and projects which can become a part of resume. This course will assure to enhance the quality of your resume to match industry standards in a very less timespan.
