Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC for the System Architect - LIVE ONLINE

This online course provides system architects with an overview of the capabilities and support for the Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC family.
The emphasis is on leveraging the ARM Cortex-APU, RPU and platform management unit (PMU) capabilities. A separation of protected software tasks is needed when several OS are running in a system securely and safely.
A power-management concept in hard- and software will be demonstrated for getting higher reliability and optimized power consumption.

The theoretical content is supplemented by exercises carried out by the participant.
 

Duration: 2 mornings of 4 hours each

Times:    9.00 a.m. - 11.00 a.m.    Lecture part 1

              11.00 a.m. - 11.15 a.m.  15 minute break

              11.15 a.m. - 1.15 p.m.    Lecture part 2
