FPGA programming with LabVIEW - hands-on workshop
On 17th November, IdeaSquare is organising an FPGA hands-on workshop aimed at members of the CERN community under the precious instruction of Adriaan Rijllart. This free of charge workshop will allow 9 people to gain hands-on experience of FPGA programming and the use of LabVIEW for scientific purposes.
In this training you will learn the basics of a graphical programming language called LabVIEW and how to use it with an FPGA and ARM processor module called myRIO (Reconfigurable Input Output). You will learn that FPGA programming is not that complicated and not that different from programming a standard CPU when using LabVIEW. LabVIEW allows rapid prototyping, rapid adaptation to new requirements and making robust systems in combination with industrial hardware. It avoids many of the difficulties to program an FPGA, for instance to define the parallelism and synchronisation, and the need to learn special languages, such as VHDL, Vivado and Verilog.
This is the third iteration of the 2 x 2 hour workshop and applications are open for up to 9 members of the CERN community (scientists, engineers and students) to join the session. After an iteration over Zoom we are thrilled to have people physically back in IdeaSquare, learning by doing. The link to the Indico event and registration will be published in the Young@CERN facebook group.
