FPGA and Adaptive SoC Design Automation with Vivado AI Assistant
General objective of the workshop
Discover and gain hands-on experience with the AMD Vivado™ AI Assistant and agentic AI workflows to assist and automate key FPGA and Adaptive SoC design tasks, from design creation and analysis to design closure.
Target audience
- FPGA and Adaptive SoC designers
- Hardware and embedded systems engineers
- Vivado™ Design Suite users interested in AI-assisted design workflows
- Technical leads and architects looking to evaluate the use of agentic AI in FPGA and Adaptive SoC development
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of FPGA or Adaptive SoC design concepts
- Familiarity with the AMD Vivado™ Design Suite and the standard FPGA design flow
- Basic understanding of HDL-based design (VHDL or Verilog) is recommended
- No prior experience with AI assistants or agentic AI is required
Workshop objectives
- Understand the key features of AMD Vivado™ AI Assistant and its integration into the FPGA and Adaptive SoC design flow.
- Use and configure a knowledge base to improve interactions with Vivado AI Assistant.
- Use the assistant to facilitate design entry and creation, as well as the analysis and interpretation of design results.

Teaching staff
The training course is delivered by William Duluc, AMD Authorized Trainer since 2017, an electronics and telecommunications engineer, an expert in AMD technologies since 2009. His experience combines digital system design, FPGA and embedded software development, technical project management, and professional training on Xilinx and subsequently AMD technologies.
His main areas of expertise include:
- AMD FPGAs: VHDL and Verilog languages, RTL design, integration and validation of digital systems;
- AMD SoCs and MPSoCs: C/C++ development, hardware and software architectures, design and integration of embedded systems;
- AMD DSP and RFSoC: high-level synthesis (HLS), MATLAB/Simulink, digital signal processing and radio-frequency architectures;
- AMD Versal: AI Engines, adaptive architectures and heterogeneous system design.
Accessibility
People with disabilities are invited to contact MVD Training before registering so that possible training adjustments can be considered. Educational, technical, or organisational adaptations are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the participant's needs, the technical requirements, and the training objectives. Where relevant, this review may be carried out with support from AGEFIPH.
