Description
Introduction
Embedded system solutions play an important role in FPGA system designs for Space allowing designers to develop software for processors in FPGAs, provides flexibility and in-orbit programmability to implement distributed architectures via system bus.To develop an embedded system on an FPGA, user needs to design the System-on-Chip (SoC) with an embedded processor, develop system software on the processor and implement the complete architecture design in the FPGA.
Audience
The intended audience for this hands-on tutorial includes embedded system designers, embedded software developers and FPGA designers.
What will you learn?
In this hands-on tutorial you will learn the basics of LATTICE Propel™ and Radiant™ tools while developing a complete reference design.
Lattice Propel™ helps users develop a system with a RISC-V processor, SpaceWire IP, and a set of embedded tools.
Lattice Radiant™ helps the FPGA designer implement the developed architecture design.
No prior knowledge of LATTICE Propel™ and Radiant™ is required. Lattice will provide all required hardware and software for this hand-on tutorial.
Outline of hands-on tutorial
The tutorial will guide you through the development of a reference design:
How to build an embedded design with RISC-V and SpaceWire
How to develop the software for the processor subsystem
How to implement the architecture design in the FPGA
How to debug the system using the Propel™ environment
Note: Installation of software before attending the tutorial
To prepare for the hands-on tutorial, you need to install LATTICE Propel™ and Radiant™ on your computer prior to the event. LATTICE Propel™ and Radiant™ installation and free license will be provided upon completing your registration for the tutorial.
