Design a high speed SoC, gain a holistic view of the FPGA design flow and overcome its challenges

Key Features

Use the development tools to implement and verify an SoC including the ARM CPUs and the FPGA logic
Overcome the challenge of time to market by using FPGA SoCs and avoid the prohibitive ASIC NRE cost
Understand the integration of custom logic accelerators and the SoC software and build them

Book Description

Modern and complex SoCs can adapt to many demanding system requirements by combining the processing power of ARM processors and the feature-rich Xilinx FPGAs. Youll need to understand the interfaces and protocols that put together a high speed SoC targeting an FPGA device, pinpoint the bottlenecks and define the architecture of an SoC in an FPGA to produce a superior solution in optimal time and cost.

This book adopts a practical approach to help you master both the hardware and software design flows, understand key interconnects and interfaces, analyze the system performance and enhance it using the acceleration techniques and finally build an RTOS-based software application for an advanced SoC design. Beginning with an introduction to the FPGA SoCs technology fundamentals and their associated development design tools, the book will guide you in building the SoC hardware and software, starting from the architecture definition to testing on a demo board or a virtual platform. The level of complexity evolves as the book progresses and it covers advanced applications such as communications, security, and coherent hardware acceleration. By the end of this book, youll learn the concepts underlying FPGA SoCs advanced features and youll have constructed a high speed SoC targeting a high end FPGA from the ground up.
