Avnet-Memec in conjunction with Actel will be hosting several workshops:

Integrating an ARM7™ CPU Soft Core in an Actel FPGA
For hardware design engineers.

Learn how to integrate Actel's CoreMP7 soft ARM7 core in a mixed-signal FPGA design.

This 90-minute, hands-on session is an abbreviated version of Avnet's SpeedWay Design workshop that teaches you the end-to-end tool flow for designing an Actel FPGA with an embedded ARM7 soft core. Primarily intended for hardware designers, the workshop will use the Actel Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE) to create a hardware design; tailor the IP and processor blocks using SmartGen and CoreConsole; synthesize the design; create a testbench and simulate; and place and route, analyze timing and power, and program the FPGA on the target board.

Software Development for ARM7 CPUs Embedded in an FPGA
For software and hardware engineers.

Learn the software development process for Actel FPGA designs that have an integrated soft core ARM7 CPU.

This 90-minute hands-on session is the software accompaniment to our FPGA design workshop using Actel's Fusion® mixed-signal FPGA with an embedded ARM7 soft core. This workshop is for both software and hardware design engineers that develop software for embedded processors.We will leverage Actel's SoftConsole software development environment to create a system management application in C; compile using the GNU C/C++ compiler; and use the GDB debugger to explore memory, CPU registers, and step through executing code on the target hardware.
