1 day · 7 hours Language: French Release date: 2026-10-01

General objective of the workshop

Discover and gain hands-on experience with the AMD Ross™ Agentic AI Assistant and agentic AI workflows to assist and automate key FPGA and Adaptive SoC design tasks, from design creation and analysis to timing closure, simulation, and hardware debug.

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

  • Explain how the AMD Ross™ agentic AI assistant integrates into programmable device design workflows
  • Set up and validate a Ross-enabled AMD Vivado™ development environment
  • Create, implement and debug a Vivado™ design using the AMD Ross™ agentic AI assistant to guide analysis, timing optimization, simulation, and hardware debugging.

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 AMD technologies.
His main areas of expertise include:
  • AMD FPGAs: VHDL and Verilog languages, RTL design, integration and validation of digital systems, definition of design and timing constraints, SDC/XDC constraints, static timing analysis, and timing closure;
  • 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.
This expertise, developed primarily around AMD technologies, is based on design skills and methodologies that can be applied to other FPGA and SoC environments, particularly in RTL design, SDC timing constraints, timing analysis, system integration, and development methodologies.
