About Training Project | Mentors | Terms & Conditions | Trainees Announcement

Welcome to the Path II Programmable Trainees Page!

The Path II Programmable training project will train ten element14 members by providing them with free FPGA/SoC training modules with lab exercises. Once the training has been completed, the trainees will build a project with the Avnet Ultra96-V2Ultra96-V2 development board. In return for both the FREE training and the Ultra96-V2Ultra96-V2 development board, the five trainees will blog weekly to report on their progress, covering both the high points and the challenges of learning the Ultra96-V2Ultra96-V2.

Due to receiving so many high quality applications, element14 has decided to increase the number of trainees from 5 to 10.

Please join us in congratulating the 10 Trainees! We look forward to reading all of their initial blogs and seeing their projects after the training.

Design Engineer - Mechanical / Electrical Focus

Bio: Philip Kasavan is an design engineer - mechanical / electrical focus.

Interest in the training: "I have experience working with FPGAs and microcontrollers/processors separately, but I haven't had many opportunities to work on projects which combine both on one device."

Computer Engineer

Bio: Antonio Rios is a computer engineer.

Interest in the training: "I am working on a deep learning accelerator for CNN and DeltaRNN, in order to develop a custom hardware to parallelize the computation of the deep learning algorithms to achieve a high computing throughput, low latency, high efficiency, and low power consumption."

Student

Bio: Avner is a student. His Community participation has included: Design Challenges, RoadTests, blogs, discussions, and videos.

Interest in the training: "I've been interested in trying out the Ultra96 platform & the PYNQ framework, as the PYNQ overlays allow the FPGAs configuration to be swapped out on the fly using partial reconfiguration, which is great for prototyping."

Electrical Engineer

Bio: Cary is an Electrical Engineer with over 20 years experience designing Analog and High-Speed Digital electronics. He has experience with FPGA design and verification, C/C++, DSPs, and Arm processors.

Interest in the training: "A training program like this with deadlines will be the perfect motivation I need to get back into designing with Xilinx and getting familiar with the Vivado design tools."

Engineer - Research & Development

Bio: Charles Mao is an engineer - research & development.

Interest in the training: "I think this training program is a perfect opportunity for me to overcome some challenges and make me comfortable with Zynq MPSoC Systems for my future job projects, such as autonomous driving, etc."

Electrical Engineer

Bio: Ian Johnston is an electrical engineer.

Interest in the training: "I enjoyed FPGA related work while I was at university but, as my company is small and lacking in FPGA expertise I haven't had much chance to use or expand on these skills since I left university."

Engineer - Research & Development

Bio: James is an engineer in Research & Development. His Community participation has included: being a Design Challenge winner, posting discussions, and blogs.

Interest in the training: "Path to Programmable 1 was my first time around with these devices. I hope to dive deeper this time. I have programmed FPGAs and PLDs at work; but just downloading the official software releases and not doing my own coding and creating IP."

Electrical Engineer

Bio: Ralph is an electrical engineer.

Interest in the training: "I would like to learn the lower level hardware programming flow using Vivado, and I think this course would be the ideal vehicle for that. I'd like to get more experience developing custom overlays for FPGAs."

vladrumyan

Electrical Engineer

Bio: Vladislav is an electrical engineer.

Interest in the training: "I am very keen to gain more knowledge and experience in working with systems that include both PL and PS. Until now, I have mostly worked with them separately."

Interested in following along with the Trainees? Here's how:

Follow their posts to learn more about the FPGA/SoC. You can purchase the Ultra96-V2Ultra96-V2 to recreate the projects of the trainees and feel free to comment.

Good Luck Everyone!
