WORKSHOP ON FPGA AND INDUSTRIAL COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS
IEEE BIT Student Branch conducted a two-day Skill Development Workshop under the IEEE BIT VLSI Chapter on 20th and 21st May 2025. The event focused on practical, industry-relevant skills in FPGA-based design and integration of communication protocols like I2C, SPI, and AMBA, using Xilinx Vivado, a widely-used tool in the VLSI industry.
The workshop was conducted by Mr. Abhishek Mulugu, Principal Engineer at Marvell Semiconductor, who is a FPGA design and RTL development specialist with more than fifteen years of experience.
DAY-1:
On Day-1 of the workshop, an introductory session on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) was conducted, focusing on their importance in modern digital design. Participants were introduced to the fundamental concepts of FPGA technology, including types of FPGAs and their applications across fields such as telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive systems, and defence. The session explained how logic blocks, interconnects, and I/O blocks within an FPGA work together to create flexible hardware solutions.
DAY-2:
In this session, participants learned how to work with IP (Intellectual Property) designs in Vivado, an essential part of modern FPGA development. The session began with an overview of how to access and install IP cores within the Vivado environment. Participants were guided on how to navigate the IP catalogue, configure IP cores, and understand the role of protocols in digital design. Protocols such as I2C, SPI, and UART were introduced, explaining their purpose in enabling communication between devices.
