Explore the world of SoC+FPGA solutions in this informative 42-minute conference talk by Marek Vašut from DENX Software Engineering GmbH. Gain insights into diverse chip offerings from various vendors, ranging from IoT-grade to industrial-level solutions, with a focus on software support. Learn about mainline U-Boot and Linux support for these chips, and discover how to load and operate the FPGA part in both environments. Understand the potential of FPGA manager in combination with Device Tree (DT) Overlays, including their functionality, integration, and best practices for optimal SoC+FPGA experience. Delve into topics such as Cypress Devices, Open Source Tools, MicroSemi Smart Fusion, bootloaders, Linux support, vendor interfaces, and FPGA Manager demonstrations. Benefit from Marek's extensive experience as a SoCFPGA and USB maintainer for U-Boot, MTD co-maintainer in Linux, and his involvement in mainline U-Boot and Linux kernel development.
