SDSoC: Adam Taylor Articles & Xilinx Workshop with the Zybo

Not sure what SDSoC is?  Our partner, Xilinx, describes it in the lead portion of this video as:

The SDSoC development environment provides a greatly simplified ASSP-like C/C++ programming experience including an easy to use Eclipse IDE and a comprehensive design environment for heterogeneous Zynq® All Programmable SoC and MPSoC deployment.

Our friend,  Adam Taylor from ADIUVO, helps you navigate SDSoC with a variety informative posts included in the popular MicroZed Chronicles.

With a conversational tone, Adam provides information as well as tips and visuals to help you on your journey.

Using [a feature of SDSoC]allows us to perform “what if” experiments more quickly so that we can better understand the impacts of our optimizations.  Performing an estimate build generally takes only a few minutes and provides a much faster way to perform “what if?” experiments.  – Adam Taylor (from Part 99)
