Introduction
|
||
|
|
===============================================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main purpose of this user guide is to help the user understand and use
|
||
|
|
(modify or otherwise) the HDL resources provided by `Analog Devices, Inc.`_,
|
||
|
|
and to provide advices and instructions for using these resources.
|
||
|
|
These resources are found on the GitHub, the
|
||
|
|
:git-hdl:`HDL repository <master:/>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After reading this guide, the user should be able to build a specific project
|
||
|
|
from the :git-hdl:`HDL repository <master:/>` and be able to modify
|
||
|
|
(if so desire) the digital data path implemented in the FPGA.
|
||
|
|
Furthermore, all ADI developed and supported IPs are presented in detail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At the same time, this user guide does not intend to be a guide for any third
|
||
|
|
party tool. To understand and use the HDL framework efficiently the user needs
|
||
|
|
to have a **solid understanding on how an FPGA works, to be familiar with all
|
||
|
|
the design tools and flows**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If somebody does not have this knowledge we highly recommend to make some
|
||
|
|
general research and go through some basic tutorials with the targeted
|
||
|
|
development platform. At the vendor's support pages you can find an abundance
|
||
|
|
of information:
|

* `AMD Xilinx support`_
|
||
|
|
* `Intel support`_
