Function Acceleration on FPGA with Vitis-Part 1: Fundamental (Udemy.com)

Este curso es una basura, voy a la mitad y se la pasa repitiendo lo mismo una y otra vez.

Not professionally done. Coverage of important topics is done without providing background and/or context. Also, the background/interleaving music played throughout the videos is very distracting and unprofessional.

A good introduction class for Xilinx Vitis acceleration flow. Will update the review after I finish the class.

Very useful course. This is the first time, i know that can work with FPGA by C++. Before i believe that must use verilog, SV or VHDL only.

Very informative lecture, it covers each and every points including lab sessions. Very attracting presentation and all diagrams and figures are remembers because of the presentation. Easy explanation.

Good course material and detailed structure. Loved Section 11 & 13. Just wanted more explanation on Vitis SW suite itself - which component we may use or will be useful for debug/profiling. Also CLI description might be helpful for HPC folks who cannot use GUI.

I'm following along and feelin good! I feel confident all the startup bugs have been ironed out and it'll be smooth sailing from here out. I looked into some software profiling tools and hope we can use these at some point to break up a larger software build into host and kernel sections. It would be nice if, at the end of the course, I was able to create and/or utilize a linking-loader functionality from the target Linux shell.....

It is an excellent resource for understanding the concept of HLS and also provides a practical explanation of parallels by HW.

Very good course! Perhaps one of the very few available publicly at this time. Of course the Xilinx documentation is great but this tutorial makes the learning more enjoyable and the faster. It could be a better learning experience if the "intro" to each video would just state the intention and the generic music filling the demos will be varied or cut off altogether as it tends to be a little tedious at times. Again, overall a very good course that could be improved if the instructor would provide more platforms for other popular boards (already three at the moment). I had quite a journey until having a Pynq Z2 working properly (caveat, there are not enough resources for this board to work for the SpMV demo). I liked the progressive difficulty of the topics, culminating with the last section that makes the point of the hardware acceleration in Vitis: take a popular C/C++ library and implement a key part of its functionality and accelerate it on the FPGA fabric (Zynq PL). I can't wait for the next course in the series!

The course is great for beginners with small knowledge about the concepts such as FPGAs and Vitis. But for others who look to learn more advanced concepts and corner cases of Vitis and HLS, maybe more advanced courses are appropriate.
