FFT algorithm using an FPGA and XDMA.
In this blog we talked (a little) about the xDMA IP from Xilinx, and how to send and receive data through PCI using an FPGA. In that occasion we used the Picozed board with the FMC Carrier gen 2. This…

Creating Pynq images for custom boards.
In this blog we already talk about Pynq and how it can help us to develop some applications in a easy way. Obviously, Pynq has its limitations but it still being a powerful tool with we can develop projects in…
Discovering the SmartFusion® 2 SoC.
Several years ago, electronic designs began to feature System on a Chip (SoC) technology. This technology is an excellent choice for designs that require a higher integration or a reduction in Bill of Materials (BOM) cost. On this blog we…
Development boards I use.
Many times, developers who want to take their first steps in the world of the FPGAs ask me about a development board which begin to test their first designs. From the newie point of view, I understand that see a…
Connecting an SSD to Zynq MPSOC.
Devices like Xilinx Zynq or Microchip PolarFire give us the possibility to mix in a single design a high level OS like Linux and a fast device like FPGA. For signal processing, or even data science, is very interesting to…
Discovering SDR with GNU Radio and USRP B205Mini.
This post will be different from what I usually write. In general, in my posts, I talk about low-level algorithms and FPGA implementations to do digital signal processing, but this time I will use software to configure an specific purpose…
Designing an FPGA board.
Few month ago, I decided to design my own FPGA development board. The main reason for that was simply learn to do it, because I have design a lot o boards for peripherals, PMODs, or other projects, but never one…
Single tone detector with Genesys ZU and RTU.
When I started to investigate about signal processing, what made me feel happier was decode a signal that, apparently, has no sense. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) turns something meaningless into something meaningful. That is amazing but, if we are looking…
Genesys ZU and Zynq US+.
This week I have received the big (big) sister of the Eclypse Z7, the Digilent’s Genesys ZU. This board, due to its FMC, ZMOD and PMOD is a good choice for signal processing applications, but first, let’s take a look…
EclypseZ7, Petalinux and signal processing at the edge.
In my last post, I said 2 things come to my mind when we talk about signal processing. One of them is FFT, and I explained you how to compute an xFFT on the Digilent’s EclypseZ7, or other Xilinx 7…
