In this half-day virtual workshop, you will get hands-on experience with creating, programming, debugging, and developing applications for Arm Cortex-M processors in Xilinx FPGAs through DesignStart FPGA.

While focused on implementation within an FPGA, the session will also outline the differences in flow used to implement Arm Cortex-M processors within a Zynq or Zynq MPSoC heterogeneous SoC.

Though these terms might be intimidating to someone that isn't all that familiar with them, you needn't worry - no FPGA experience is necessary! All you'll need to participate is all of the equipment from this Workshop List, a can-do attitude, roughly 3-4 hours of time, and to sign up via the form to the right!
