The MathWorks, Texas Instruments, and Xilinx: Development of Software-Defined Radio Systems

Seminar Overview

Working together to improve the application development process, The MathWorks, Texas Instruments and Xilinx have integrated products to enable:

Faster time to deployment
Productivity boost through product integration
More efficient use of programming resources
More robust code generation
Faster proof of concept through tighter integration with hardware
Increased confidence in functionality of end product

Thank you for your interest in MathWorks Seminars. There are no dates currently scheduled for this Seminar. For more information on our seminars and products contact MathWorks sales or please visit:

Who Should Attend

Any application, software and hardware engineers working on Software-Defined Radio Systems, Communication Systems or Signal Processing applications that may also use TI DSPs and/or Xilinx FPGAs.

Seminar Highlights

This seminar will show how The MathWorks family of products, together with tools and devices from Texas Instruments and Xilinx, provides a rapid and efficient development flow for Software-Defined Radio Systems. Through presentations, case studies and demonstrations delivered by experienced engineers from all three companies, attendees will discover how the capabilities of The MathWorks family of products can be applied to quickly develop ideas, test them and share them with colleagues. These designs can then be automatically deployed to a real-time rapid prototyping platform, or to a final embedded product, using an integrated development flow for Texas Instruments and Xilinx devices. Attendees will also discover the capabilities of the devices from Texas Instruments and Xilinx for Software-Defined Radio applications.

Because this is a jointly hosted seminar, The MathWorks, Texas Instruments and Xilinx will share registration information.

Agenda
09:00 - 09:30	Registration & Coffee
09:30 - 09:45	Introductions Introductions to The MathWorks, Texas Instruments and Xilinx, and how these companies are working together in this field.
09:45 - 10:45	The MathWorks: A Development Environment for Signal Processing and Communications Systems A technical overview of The MathWorks software tools for Signal Processing and Communications system development, and an introduction to Model-Based Design - an integrated development flow for taking complex systems from concept through to implementation on DSP and FPGA.
10:45 - 11:05	Coffee Break
11:05 - 11:55	Texas Instruments: A Technical Overview of the C6000 Platform for Software-Defined Communications Systems An overview of TI's SDR product roadmap including C6000 DSPs followed by a technical overview of how system designers can leverage highly-efficient, programmable DSPs to address increasing performance requirements of Software Defined Radios.
11:55 - 12:35	The MathWorks: Developing Signal Processing Applications for Embedded Implementation: TI DSP How MATLAB can be used together with Code Composer Studio to support developments on the C6000 and other TI processors using hand-crafted code, and how C code can be automatically generated from Simulink-based designs for use on these processors.
12:35 - 13:35	Lunch
13:35 - 14:05	The MathWorks: Developing Signal Processing Applications for Embedded Implementation: Xilinx FPGA How Simulink models can be developed to include FPGA-specific detail, such as fixed-point arithmetic, detail of hardware architecture, and hand-written HDL code, as either an elaborated specification or a system-level testbench.
14:05 - 14:55	Xilinx: Overview of FPGA Platforms and Xilinx System Generator for Software-Defined Radio Applications An overview of the Xilinx FPGA platforms, and a technical presentation on how the System Generator FPGA development tool based on Simulink will accelerate the development of SDR based designs.
14:55 - 15:15	Coffee Break
15:15 - 16:00	The MathWorks: Software-Defined Radio Worked Examp[le Using a Xilinx and TI-based Software-Defined Radio development platform from LYRTECH, examples will be demonstrated highlighting the technologies discussed during the day. This will include a worked example of a Software-Defined Radio application.
16:00 - 16:15	Discussion and Closing Summary
