Compact UltraScale: Integrated PCI Express Systems
Workshop
At the beginning of this class, an introduction to the vocabulary and the transmission protocol are given, along with details on the structure and content of data packets. This is a solid foundation for building your own application.
After that, the main aspects of this training class are simulation and implementation of a provided example design. This way, the learning experience is the most realistic while allowing one to easily put the theory into reality. The interface between the core block and the user application is especially emphasized. The available signals and their correct usage are discussed in the necessary detail. During the training, the target technology will be the Kintex™ UltraScale™ FPGA KCU105 evaluation board. The working principles and the protocol information, however, are equally valid for other technologies, too.
Due to accompanying exercises, the course offers in-depth and practice-oriented training.

FAQ
01. In which countries is PLC2 an Authorized Training Provider (ATP) of AMD?
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.
