Introduction to the Platform Designer System Integration Tool (Qsys)

This class will teach you how to quickly build designs for Intel® FPGA devices using the Platform Designer system-level integration tool (formerly known as Qsys), part of the Intel Quartus® Prime software. You will become proficient with using Platform Designer and learn how to quickly integrate “off-the-shelf” IP and custom logic into a system. Platform Designer makes design reuse easy through the use of standard interfaces, so you will learn about the interfaces supported by the tool: Avalon® Memory Mapped and Streaming as well as an introduction to the Arm* AMBA* AXI interface standard. The class provides a significant hands-on component, where you will gain exposure to tool usage as well as system and custom HDL component design.

At Course Completion  you will be able to:

  •  Build digital systems in the Platform Designer tool.
  •  Integrate the files generated by Platform Designer into the Intel Quartus Prime software design flow.
  •  Create custom components with Avalon-MM and Avalon-ST interfaces and integrate them into your system.

Skills Required

  •  Background in digital logic design
  •  Working knowledge of the Intel Quartus Prime software.
  •  Knowledge of HDL coding methodology (helpful but not mandatory).
