Evita™ HDL Tutorials

Aldec has created interactive VHDL and Verilog learning tools that have been used by thousands of engineers and students to quickly get familiar with HDL design concepts and languages’ syntax. The Evita^™ Tutorial is structured in the same way as traditional book: it is composed of chapters, sections and pages. Also, like in the books you can browse through the table of contents. The navigation buttons allow to easly switch to any section of the tutorial.

Working with Evita^™ you will discover that learning HDL can also be fun.

This innovative multimedia training is provided free of charge on Aldec website.

Petalinux

PetaLinux is source-based hardware and software distribution which has been developed specifically for using Embedded Linux on reconfigurable logic devices. The PetaLinux distribution includes everything needed to easily create Linux systems running on Xilinx field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

PetaLinux is developed and maintained by PetaLogix. PetaLinux builds upon and extends the well-known uClinux-dist build environment that is maintained by SnapGear.
