Free Seminars/Labs - Implementing PCI Express Designs in FPG

[John Adair]

Having not done any free seminars for a while we now fixing that by
running 2 sets of seminars in May and possibly into June if we add
some more dates. Both sets of seminars are based on the implementation
of a custom PCIe design with one set of seminars based on Xilinx
Spartan-6 and the other set based on Altera Cyclone-IV.

The format is approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of a working day roughly split
equally between lecture time and a practical lab where you will get
proper hands on building of a design hopefully taking it through to
working in real hardware.

Details at http://enterpoint.co.uk/main-3/seminars/ and initial dates
are at our office(or close by) in Malvern, UK in May. We are looking
at other venues for re-runs elsewhere in the UK, Europe and the US and
open to suggestions anywhere where we might get a sensible attendance.

We have improved the UK percentage for the current year and
that's always good to do but we work well with most of customers
wherever they might be.

Any ideas about Baltic countries?

Hi John,

Something a bit further south (London area) would be good. I would have been up for taking holiday to do this - but unfortunately, Malvern is a bit too far for me to get to easily / cost effectively!

I'd imagine you'd get a reasonable amount of interest from businesses in the south-east as London is very easily accessible.

Best regards,

Simon

There is a strong chance of the Altera based seminar having a date in
the Reading area. As yet we don,t have anything for Xilinx side but
we will work on that.

As to business distribution the South East doesn't actually get very
high up our sales percentages but that's in the context that we
deliver board and design services for customers into more than 30
countries now. On the 2 previous years published we were also 90%+
export. We have improved the UK percentage for the current year and
that's always good to do but we work well with most of customers
wherever they might be.

I don't see any problem in doing one, or even a mirror pair, in
Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania other than identifing a venue and getting
enough people interested to attend. One of the very little known facts
about Enterpoint is that we do customer specific training courses.
It's not like mainstrain training organisation, or even a big part of
what we do, but we have done that in a number of countries over the
years and that's why we now have a training kit available to do free
seminars. Other that our engineering time and travel / venue costs it
is not a terribly expensive thing for us to do on the format that we
are doing.

Ideally we would like something like 10-20 as a nice sized group which
is a good match to our training kit that. We can then have a 2:1
people:kit ratio at 20 people. We could probably handle a few more if
we either raid our office for some extra motherboards / laptops or run
a less optimal 3:1 ratio on the lab. Target development boards of
course are generally not the problem for the labs as they are all our
own lines so we just assemble some more if they are needed.

Logistics wise the fact these countries are all in the EU is good.
Shipping in and out the kit for labs etc. wouldn't be a problem. If
you have a particular suggestions for venue and who might be
interested contact me offline via our contact page http://enterpoint.co.uk/about/
and we can disscuss in some more detail.

There is now a date confirmed for the 24th May at Arrrow Electronics
offices in Theale near Reading. That should be fairly good for a lot
of companies in M3/M4 corridors and even anyone that wants to fly in
through Heathrow. Details of this new date should appear in the next
day or so.

There is a date clash between our new Altera based seminar date and
our first Xilinx based equivalent seminar so we have moved the latter
to 20th June now for anyone that is interested in that.
