Originally broadcast as two 1-hour sessions, this on-line training is intended for software developers who need to interface and control existing Matrox FPGA configurations and processing units (PUs) from the MIL/MIL-Lite environment. Starting with fundamental FPGA concepts, the webcast will explore the methods of offloading selected standard MIL/MIL-Lite functions, as well as optimizing, from a software perspective, both standard and custom FPGA configurations using the MIL/MIL-Lite Mfpga API. By participating in this training, VHDL/FPGA developers will also gain a firm understanding of how software will interact with their design.
