New tutorial videos show you how
If only I could get my prototype running inside a week!
The story is familiar. You’re a designer in your organization’s ‘skunkworks’ researching and developing the next killer application. You’ve nailed it, and sent the design off to the layout team. And wait, perhaps as long as three weeks. If you’re lucky.
Or you could use Altium’s Innovation Station, the powerful combination of Altium Designer software and the Desktop NanoBoard reconfigurable hardware platform. Included are all of the tools and technology necessary to capture, implement, test and debug your embedded / FPGA designs, in real-time.
With Altium's Innovation Station, the low level detail is managed for you, leaving you free to focus on device intelligence and functionality – the source of true and sustainable product differentiation.
Altium supports users with a wealth of free online material, including over 100 short snappy videos to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
In this latest release of videos, Altium guides you through the basics of just ‘What is an Innovation Station?’ and ‘What’s included with the Desktop NanoBoard?’ You can also see how to rapidly develop complete systems on FPGAs with this game-changing approach to product design, plus how to debug systems using the full range of tools available. And much more.
The videos are supported by a comprehensive new tutorial document ‘Getting Started with the Innovation Station’.
Implement a simple processor-based FPGA design, get it running on a physical FPGA device plugged into the Desktop NanoBoard, and see just how these two component systems work in concert with one another.
During the course of the tutorial you’ll learn the basics of creating an FPGA design using Altium Designer and the Desktop NanoBoard. It covers implementing an OpenBus-based FPGA design around a soft processor, interfacing it to the NanoBoard peripherals, and processing a design for the target FPGA device. You’ll also see how Altium’s Virtual Instruments work, and explore the different ways your design can be deployed in the real world.
The new videos and tutorial are all the resources you need to get started creating complex systems with this powerful new approach to FPGA-based systems design. Take a look at these latest tutorial videos on the Altium website at: /Community/TRAININGcenter/TrainingVideos/#,1,31
And stop waiting three weeks.
