Electronics Marketing, an operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE:
AVT), announced today the launch of a global series of SpeedWay Design
Workshops featuring the recently released, low-cost Xilinx®
Spartan®-6 FPGA LX9 MicroBoard. The first leg of this global
technical tour kicks off in July and continues on to more than 20 cities
across the Americas, and then on to Japan and Europe, the Middle East,
and Africa (EMEA). Class size is limited and registration
for classes in the Americas is open now.

Combining instructor-led courses with hands-on workshops, these full- or
half-day technical sessions feature a range of topics designed to teach
engineers everything from the basics of FPGA design to best practices
for integrating Xilinx's MicroBlaze soft processor core. Taught by
Avnet's technical specialists, these courses are geared towards
engineers at all levels including: designers who are new to FPGAs; those
looking to enhance or update their capabilities with Xilinx's suite of
development tools; and those looking to implement embedded processing
designs using Xilinx's Software Development Kit (SDK) environment or the
AMBA®4 Advanced Extensible Interface (AXI4).
These global SpeedWay Design Workshops, focused on the Xilinx Spartan-6
FPGA LX9 MicroBoard, feature the following courses, depending on
location:
Introduction to Xilinx FPGA Design: This one-day course teaches
design engineers the basics of FPGA architectures, development tools
and design techniques. Designers will leave knowing the steps required
to implement successful FPGA designs in a wide range of applications.
Introduction to MicroBlaze Processor Software Development Using the
Xilinx SDK: This one-day course explores the process of developing
software for the MicroBlaze processor within the Xilinx Software
Development Kit. This class covers the step-by-step process of running
software developed for the MicroBlaze processor using the Xilinx
Spartan-6 FPGA LX9 MicroBoard.
Introduction to MicroBlaze Processor Software Development Using the
Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK): This one-day course details
the hardware and software development flows for creating a complete
MicroBlaze processor embedded design using the Xilinx Spartan-6 LX9
MicroBoard and the Xilinx EDK. In this course, attendees will use the
AXI4 interface standard and its ecosystem for adopting their
intellectual property.
On-Chip FPGA Debugging Using ChipScope Pro: This half-day
course highlights the powerful on-chip debugging capability of the
ChipScope Pro tool.
