Designing with DSP Builder for Altera FPGAs

Course Objectives

Learn the timing-driven Simulink® design flow to implement high-speed DSP designs. 
This course focuses on implementing DSP algorithms using the advanced blockset capability of DSP Builder — an interface between Quartus Prime software & MATLAB and Simulink from MathWorks.
You´ll analyze & design your DSP algorithm using the DSP Builder advanced blockset in MATLAB & Simulink.
You´ll explore architecture & performance tradeoffs with system-level constraints.
Also you´ll verify functionality & performance of generated hardware in the Quartus Prime software.
Finally, you´ll speed design time by incorporating ready-made ModelIP cores in your design.

The course includes extensive hands-on labs.
