School of Electronics and Communication conducts Two Day Workshop on VHDL and FPGA Hands on Training 

REASI MAY 09: The School of Electronics and Communication (ECE) at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, recently organized a well-received two-day workshop on VHDL and FPGA Hands on training. This industry-focused program aimed to equip students with practical knowledge and skills in a field with growing demand.

The Workshop, held over a weekend, attracted a total of 30 students from across various engineering departments. Led by industry expert Mr. Kumar Divya, Application Engineer-ASIC/FPGA at CoreEL Technologies, the sessions covered a comprehensive range of topics. Students delved into the world of FPGAs, exploring diverse families, ZYNQ and ZYNQ MPSOC architecture, and the design flow using Vivado.

The workshop also covered PYNQ Python Productivity and delved into the integration of custom IPs with Vivado. Embedded System Design using VITIS rounded out the program, providing students with a holistic understanding of FPGAs in the embedded systems domain. These interactive sessions, facilitated by Mr. Divya, fostered a rich learning environment. Students gained valuable insights into the latest trends and applications of FPGAs, while discussions and clarification of doubts ensured a deep understanding of the material.

The organizers expressed gratitude to Dr. Anil Bharadwaj, HoD ECE, for this initiative in organizing this successful workshop, Dr. Vikram Singh for his valuable insights and guidance throughout the sessions and to Mr. Gaurav Kumar for providing technical and lab support. Tarang coordinators Sonu, Yashwant, and volunteers Ashutosh, Anubhav, and Ashish owe thanks for their commendable support in coordinating the workshop.

This workshop on FPGAs served as an excellent platform for students to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications in the field of embedded systems. The department looks forward to hosting more such industry-oriented programs in the future. Dr. Anil Bhardwaj, HoD ECE, is thankful to Honorable Vice Chancellor who is very supportive in this event, without whom it is not possible to  organize this enriching event. Head School of ECE is also thankful to Registrar, Shri Ajay Kumar Sharma (KAS) and all the administrative staff.
