Free Seminars/Labs - Implementing PCI Express Designs in FPGAs

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.

Any ideas about Baltic countries?

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

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.
