For engineers implementing DSP functions on FPGAs. This is a NEW Group that has just been created. It should take a few weeks before the group is big enough to become active. Please join!
Greetings, I have selected this topic for my dissertation topic and, since I have more of an Informatics background, I need some guidance. My only experience with FPGAs so far is with Celoxica's RC10 board, where I implemented the Haar Discrete Wavelet Transform algorithm using Handel-C. I've made a little research and found these books: 1) Lyons, Understanding Digital Signal Processing 2) Lathi, Signal Processing and Linear Systems 3) Smith, The Scientist's and Engineers guide to DSP Do you have any recommendations for the basic DSP, digital filtering and FPGA stuff? Also, should I try to implement the project in vhdl or handel-c is enough? Any additional information is more than welcome! Thank you in advance, Danny G.______________________________
Hi, Danny, I am not aware with the filter design but I can give you some advice. When it is about advanced DSP and Filter design for FPGA, I would recommend you the Xilinx System Generator & Accel DSP. They allow you to design in MATLAB/Simulink using dedicated Xilinx blocks and help you to synthesize the HDL code - ready to be downloaded into FPGA. There is one more tool in MATLAB - the FDATool. This tool let you to design and simulate your filter and generated the '.coe' file for the Xilinx FPGA. Regards, Yassen______________________________
