High-Level Synthesis for FPGA, Part 2 - Sequential Circuits

Learn Sequential Circuits Design with High-Level Synthesis (HLS)! This comprehensive course introduces you to designing and implementing sequential logic circuits on FPGAs using C/C++, eliminating the need for traditional Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) like VHDL or Verilog.

What you'll master:

• Describing Sequential Logic: Learn how to effectively describe sequential circuits using C/C++ within the Xilinx HLS environment.
• Debugging HLS Designs: Gain practical skills in debugging your HLS designs using the Integrated Logic Analyzer (ILA) IP in Vivado, with hands-on experience on the Basys3 board.
• Implementing on FPGAs: Discover the process of synthesizing high-level design descriptions into equivalent HDL code for FPGA implementation.
• Xilinx Vitis-HLS Toolset: Become proficient in using the Xilinx Vitis-HLS toolset for describing, simulating, and synthesizing your designs.

Course Highlights:

• HLS from Scratch: This is a unique course that builds the entire HLS design flow and essential skills alongside fundamental digital logic circuit concepts.
• Hands-on Examples: Follow numerous practical examples to understand HLS concepts and techniques.
• Practice & Mastery: Reinforce your learning with quizzes and exercises designed to solidify your understanding.
• Real-World Projects: Apply your knowledge through three exciting projects, culminating in the design of functional circuits and hardware controllers.
