I am a software developer with little electrical engineering background. Now I have a project to finish--using FPGA to implement DSP. All boards are ready so no hardware designing involved.

The process is: Use matlab+ Simulink to test the algorithum,then generate the VHDL code, use some tools to simulate and synthesis, then the job is done.

My problem is,I can only remember some basic concept about signals and systems,z-transform,FFT...,almost no experence about VHDL.And I have only half year to do the job.

Please give me suggestion. I really need help to refresh my knowledge. Do I need to study VHDL?
 

Re: DSP & FPGA

If you are using Xilinx FPGA, then try Xilinx ISE (FPGA development) and Xilinx System Generator for DSP (for MATLAB). It lets you build useful DSP systems quickly by simply dropping Xilinx function blocks into Simulink, and then pressing the Generate button to build the FPGA bitstream.

If your project is straightforward signal processing, and you aren't trying to push the FPGA to highest performance, you may get acceptable results without knowing much FPGA or HDL.

You do need to remember enough about signal processing to correctly choose, connect, and configure the blocks. ;)
