This training session builds upon the introduction to SmartHLS compiler software presented during  Design Week 2023. We will demonstrate how SmartHLS compiler software can be used to describe FPGA hardware modules quickly and efficiently in C++ with comparable results and significantly fewer lines of code compared to RTL. We will also show how specific hardware function requirements can be designed in C++ to create a wide multiplier using FPGA fabric. Additionally, this webinar will provide a demonstration of how such a function can be easily wrapped with an AMBA AXI4 interface, allowing easier system integration of hardware and software into a PolarFire® FPGA to accelerate the operation of a software function running on an embedded processor.

Embedded processing is ubiquitous in today’s electronics, with increased functionality and responsibility being added to devices. However, is the expectation of this responsibility sustainable? Or will advancements in quantum computing compromise the existing security measures?

Post-quantum protection is crucial for ensuring the security of data processed on intelligent edge System on Chips (SoCs) like the PolarFire® SoC. By integrating post-quantum algorithms and implementing secure boot and firmware update features, SoCs can protect devices from potential quantum computer attacks.

In this session, you will learn about the current security features in the PolarFire SoC and how encryption-IP from Xiphera can be used to enable and keep security in the quantum-computing era.

H.264 is an advanced video coding format that records and distributes high-resolution video data with optimal bandwidth utilization. It is a mature and widely adopted video coding format that is well-suited for various edge applications including intelligent cameras, surveillance drones and medical imaging equipment.The PolarFire SoC implementation of the H.264 solution showcases an in-house developed H.264 encoder IP that supports I, P and B frames. The solution demonstrates real-time compression of 4K data over a MIPI® CSI-2 RX link while harnessing the power of Linux on PolarFire SoC FPGAs to create high-quality H.264 cameras with unmatched performance and flexibility. H.264 enables real-time streaming, secure data transfer and advanced image processing on PolarFire SoC FPGAs..

In this webinar, we will show several applications with performance and watt constraints. Using a camera application as an example, we’ll also demonstrate a Machine Learning (ML) application that shows how you can estimate the power budget. This early estimation is key to understanding whether you will achieve or break your thermal constraints and how you can adapt the desired architecture. Lastly, we will show an automated comparison of how early estimation can guide the selection of different silicon vendors and utilities.

This training session introduces our High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tool, the SmartHLS compiler software. Using C/C++, our SmartHLS compiler software enables users to design at a higher abstraction level than the traditional hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog and SystemVerilog. The SmartHLS compiler software enables shorter design time, easier verification and faster time to market. This class will show how a simple C++ software algorithm can be used to create an optimized FPGA fabric IP module using common pragmas and libraries available in the SmartHLS compiler software. 

In recent years, Machine Learning (ML) solutions using FPGAs have become increasingly popular due to their low power consumption and high performance. In this webinar, you will learn how to solve real-world ML problems using our PolarFire FPGAs and VectorBlox™ Accelerator SDK. VectorBlox Accelerator SDK deploys a wide range of open-source Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on PolarFire FPGAs, allowing for efficient and accurate facial recognition and license plate reading.We will be demonstrating this capability by pipelining multiple CNNs to realize facial recognition and license plate reading. PolarFire FPGAs enable power-efficient neural network implementations; their flexible cores consume between 500 mW and 1.3W to deliver intelligent edge camera designs under 5W.

We’ve partnered with Future Electronics to host a live, hands-on workshop that will introduce the PolarFire SoC FPGA family. 

This webinar will introduce you to the features and capabilities of our VectorBlox Accelerator SDK and CoreVectorBlox Neural Network IP. We will show you how to use the PolarFire FPGA Video Kit to evaluate these tools and discuss how our global sales and technical support team can support your development.

Our Flash FPGAs require up to 50% less power than comparable SRAM-based products. This workshop is using an SMF2000 board from Trenz Elektronik based on the SmartFusion^® 2 SoC with 12 kLUT FPGA and an Arm^® Cortex^®-M3 based MCU. It was designed for developers who are new to Microchip FPGAs. Knowledge of VHDL is desirable, but not necessary.
