X-Fest 2009 is now open for would be attendees to register. Adult movie devotees or fans of the X-Men will be disappointed.
This conference has the worthier aim of educating design engineers in the design and application of FPGAs. Your hosts will be Avnet in the shape of its Silica business unit and Xilinx.
The show will visit 11 venues in Europe kicking off at the Silverstone race track (that is F1 cars, not horses) in the UK on November 3 before proceeding on to Oslo, Tel Aviv, Munich, Milan, Warsaw, Paris, Madrid, Leipzig, Eindhoven and Aarhus.
The event is a series of free one-day seminars and features training sessions ranging from building block to system level solutions that use the latest FPGA technology.
Naturally Xilinx's Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 families will feature, and engineers will get to see how they can leverage technologies from Avnet's other X-Fest partners. These will include Cypress Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, Intel, Maxim, NXP and Tyco Electronics.
“Over the past 12 years, X-fest has gained the reputation among designers for delivering high quality, deep-dive training on the latest technology from Xilinx and our other X-fest sponsors,” said Tim Barber, senior vice president of design chain business development for Avnet Electronics Marketing. “This year’s event continues that tradition with courses, demonstrations, and exhibits based on the most advanced technology available from industry-leading companies. Avnet will be featuring several new development platforms during X-fest that will simplify designer’s efforts and improve product design cycles.”
