NMI FPGA Network – Design Tools & Methodologies

October 11th @ Intel, Swindon

NMI will be hosting this event, allowing members to share experiences of how FPGA design tools and methodologies impact build schedules, solve difficult problems, affect quality, optimise architecture and bridge hardware and software communities.

Chad Hamilton from BittWare is presenting a paper entitled "FPGA Platform Development Kit Enables Fast TTM", and DAVE Embedded Systems will be showcasing their Xilinx Zynq based hardware and talking to engineers about Asymmetric Multi Processing on Cortex-A CPUs.

Sarsen Technology is very pleased to be sponsoring this event, which has been put together specifically for FPGA experts who with a vested interest in tools and methodologies.
