Hey there! I want my professional future to be related to embedded system developing, so I chose my final university project to be related to FPGA. I've done some work with FPGA using both schematic design and VHDL, but I'm still at early stages of learning. Still, I managed to make some simple applications work, such as a tetris game on the LED display of a Spartan 3 dev board, and a DES algorithm encryptor. Anyway, what I'm getting into is an entire different beast. I want to make a RTR implementation of a control architecture known as RCS (pretty much a bunch of nodes that send commands and sensory data to each other and process them in different ways at different time resolutions). The algorithms in each node will vary, but could be anything from simple arithmetic functions to neural networks. I'll be using the Zynq 7000 ZedBoard for this. This task is a little daunting for me and I'm a bit lost. My main concern is that I don't want to waste too many hours of developement time reinventing the wheel. I'd like to get hold of a good book on FPGA developement, that teaches me how to understand the relationship between behavioural code and the synthesis tool so I don't commit design mistakes that will result in area/performance issues, and also that shows the basics of RTR. Anything out there that might help me? I'll be looking forward to any advice. On a side note, the ZynQ family comes with two ARM a9 cores. Will C be enough to program these or should I start studying their instruction set? I've never worked with FPGA/micro hybrid applications and I have little idea what to expect. Thank you in advance.
First you need an algorithm. Second decision impelementation algorithm in Hard- or Software I have not understand your goal. You have a neuronal network without any peripheral devices. This can be a software solution. But you would improve your FPGA knowledge.
