In the past, designing a product required careful planning of the hardware architecture, and only after the hardware design was completed would software development begin, followed by the release of the complete product. Now, with the development of cloud computing and the internet, along with the rise of AI, 5G, and autonomous driving, the development … Read more
Author: Zhang Longley, AMD Engineer, Source: AMD Developer Community All FPGA SoC devices from AMD XILINX (Zynq-7000, Zynq MPSoC, Versal) and soft cores (Microblaze) support building Linux images using Yocto. This blog demonstrates how to build a Linux image using Yocto. The blog uses version 2024.1 of the tools to quickly build a Linux image … Read more
Introduction At DesignLinx Hardware Solutions, we use PetaLinux to build custom Linux images to support our clients’ tailored products. I must admit, I was skeptical when I first heard about PetaLinux. My professional background is in embedded Linux, having worked on numerous projects that included pure Yocto/Bitbake/OE and integrating Linux on various SoC platforms. Yocto … Read more
Hardware Description Language (HDL) is the cornerstone of modern digital system design, used as the core tool to describe hardware behavior and structure in both Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC). However, the fundamental differences in implementation, design processes, and target applications between FPGA and ASIC lead to significant differences in … Read more

In the early use of CPLDs and FPGAs, if a design was … Read more
Previously, we introduced how to create a logic analyzer and oscilloscope using RP2040. Today, we will build a logic analyzer using FPGA. Currently, the mainstream architecture of logic analyzers in China is based on FPGA + USB PHY. The combination of the advantages of FPGA and the high accessibility of USB has kept it in … Read more
Whether you are developing microcontrollers or FPGAs, a protocol analysis tool – the logic analyzer, is often used. Unlike oscilloscopes, it can only collect digital signals, with sampling rates typically ranging from hundreds of MHz to GHz, supporting multiple channels for simultaneous sampling. The accompanying software supports parsing dozens of protocols such as I2C, UART, … Read more
