Development
Tools & Methodology
The HDL-based development method simplifies the development cycle, but this requires the developer to have good knowledge of digital circuit design. It is not enough to know how to implement combinational and sequential circuits, it is very important to know how to implement your design in the FPGA architecture to maximize benefits in size, power and performance.
The PLC2 training courses in the »tools and methodology« category help developers use and apply the development tools for these latest technologies.

PLC2 is an ATP in Cyprus, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Turkey.
02. What does AMD ATP stand for?
AMD Authorized Training Providers (ATPs) are expert instructors specializing in all aspects of FPGA and embedded design from software to systems and beyond. Courses offered leverage training materials specifically developed by AMD engineers and enhanced further via the specialized knowledge and expertise of AMD ATP instructors.
03. Can the training content be customized to specific FPGA and embedded design project requirements?
Yes. On request, we create customized training courses that are precisely tailored to your company’s tools, processes, and methods. See also our In-House training format.
04. Are there hands-on exercises in PLC2 training courses?
Depending on the course format, hands-on exercises are included in most of the training sessions, especially in workshops, power workshops, and online live courses.
05. How can I register for a PLC2 training course?
Go to the page of your desired training course and click the button »Book workshop«. You will jump directly to the booking form. Fill out the form and click submit. You will receive a confirmation e-mail immediately.
06. Can you help me with booking a room for the duration of my PLC2 training?
If you need a room for a face-to-face course, please contact us. We will support you in choosing suitable accommodation.
07. What times in the day do PLC2 training courses start and end?
Our face-to-face and online courses start daily at 9 a.m. (CET/CEST) and end at 5 p.m., with two coffee breaks and an extended lunch break. The total course time per day is 6 hours.
08. Are course materials provided in a PLC2 training?
All participants of paid courses will receive English training materials in electronic or paper form.
09. Will I receive a certificate upon completion of the PLC2 training course?
Each participant of a paid PLC2 course will receive a signed certificate of attendance at the end of the course.
10. Can I pay PLC2 training with Training Credits (TCs)?
Of course, you can also pay for your training using your available TCs (Training Credits). We will then invoice AMD directly. If you do not have sufficient credit for the booked training, the difference can be paid for with an additional payment. The additional charge will be invoiced directly to you.
11. What are the options for payment for PLC2 training?
You can pay us via bank transfer or with TCs (Training Credits). Unfortunately, payment via debit, credit card, or PayPal is not possible.
12. What is the deadline for payment for PLC2 training?
Payment is due 14 days after the invoice date, without deduction. Please transfer the amount within that time.
13. What are the options for cancelling a PLC2 training?
You can cancel free of charge up to 14 days before the course starts. If you have to cancel at short notice due to illness or other reasons, you have the option of adding a substitute participant or of making up the course at a later date (within 6 months).
14. When will I receive a firm commitment as to whether the PLC2 training course will take place?
You will receive binding confirmation 7 days before the course begins as to whether it will go ahead.
15. What is the minimum number of participants for a PLC2 training?
We generally offer courses for 5 or more people. This means that if you would like to book a course at your location, either five people must register or you must pay for five participants, even if fewer people attend.
16. Can I book a PLC2 training course that is given in English?
If you need a course that is officially advertised as given in German to be given in English, please contact us. We will try to make that possible for you.
17. What language is the PLC2 training course in?
Our webinars and online courses are conducted in English. All our F2F training courses are generally conducted in German. Feel free to contact us if you need face-to-face training in English or online training in German.
18. What formats are available in the Tools & Methodology category?
All PLC2 trainings are available in multiple formats (e.g. F2F, online or in-house) to fit different learning preferences and project constraints.
19. Do I need prior knowledge to participate in a PLC2 training course in the Tools & Methodology category?
Basic knowledge of digital logic and hardware description languages (VHDL / Verilog) is recommended but not mandatory. Many training courses show how to combine tools and methodologies in a targeted manner.
20. What general methods are taught in the Tools & Methodology training courses?
The training courses teach established engineering methodologies such as:
• Defining proper timing constraints
• FPGA design techniques
• Vitis HLS
• Test-driven development (TDD) for HDL
• Coverage-oriented verification
• Automated regression testing
• Workflow standardization (GitFlow, branching models)
• CI/CD best practices
21. Which specific tools are covered in the PLC2 Tools & Methodology training courses?
Depending on the course, we cover common tools and methodologies, including:
• FPGA design techniques, timing constraints
• EDA toolchains (e.g., Vivado, Vitis, Vitis HLS)
• Version control (Git, GitLab, GitHub)
• CI/CD systems (GitLab CI)
• Debugging and analysis tools
• Simulation and verification environments (OSVVM)
and other high-quality workflows for improving development quality.
22. What is covered in PLC2's Tools & Methodology training category?
Our Tools & Methodology training category focuses on the professional use of development, verification, and automation tools combined with proven engineering methodologies. The courses address how to structure FPGA and SoC projects efficiently, how to use tools correctly and reproducibly, and how to integrate best practices such as version control, CI/CD, verification frameworks, and timing-closure workflows into real-world projects. In addition, FPGA design techniques is an important topic which provides the technique to design reliable FPGA designs.
