Topic Descriptions
Day 1
ô?±Œ UltraFast Design Methodology Introduction – Overview of the methodology guidelines covered in this course.
ô?±Œ Scripting in Vivado Design Suite Project Mode – Explains how to write Tcl commands in the project-based flow for a design.
ô?±Œ Clocking Resources – Describes various clock resources, clocking layout, and routing in a design.
ô?±Œ Synchronous Design Techniques – Introduces synchronous design techniques used in an FPGA design.
ô?±Œ Register Duplication – Use register duplication to reduce high fanout nets in a design.
ô?±Œ Resets – Investigates the impact of using asynchronous resets in a design.
ô?±Œ I/O Logic Resources – Overview of I/O resources and the IOB property for timing closure.
ô?±Œ Timing Summary Report – Use the post-implementation timing summary report to sign-off criteria for timing closure.
ô?±Œ Introduction to Timing Exceptions – Introduces timing exception constraints and applying them to fine tune design timing.
ô?±Œ Generated Clocks – Use the report clock networks report to determine if there are any generated clocks in a design.
ô?±Œ Clock Group Constraints – Apply clock group constraints for asynchronous clock domains.
Day 2
