Lecture Description:

Emerging applications ranging from AI for IoT, embedded vision, hardware security, 5G communications, and industrial/automotive automation are redefining hardware requirements for developers designing products that operate at the network Edge.
To support these applications, Edge devices need hardware options that offer:
• Low power consumption
• High performance
• High reliability
• Small form factor

CrossLink™-NX family of low-power FPGAs can be used in a wide range of applications, and are optimized for bridging and processing needs in Embedded Vision applications – supporting a variety of high bandwidth sensor and display interfaces, video processing and machine learning inferencing. It is built on Lattice Nexus FPGA platform, using low-power 28 nm FD-SOI technology. It combines the flexibility of an FPGA with the low power and high reliability (due to extremely low SER) of FD-SOI technology. This face-to-face LEC2 workshop “CrossLink NX” teaches the user in the way, the FPGA how building blocks of the CrossLink NX Series work and how they can be used most effectively.
