Course Overview

The AMD Embedded Heterogeneous Design course provides comprehensive training on the AMD Versal™ architecture, focusing on the development of High-Level Synthesis (HLS) and AI Engine components within a heterogeneous system. Designed for software and hardware developers, system architects, and engineers aiming to accelerate applications using AMD devices, this course aligns with the EMBD-HET certification exam. It equips professionals with the skills to design embedded systems leveraging adaptive compute, a capability increasingly adopted by leading tech firms—over 70% of AMD’s 2025 design wins in edge AI and signal processing utilized Versal-based heterogeneous architectures. The curriculum is ideal for those targeting roles in embedded systems engineering, AI acceleration, and FPGA-based system design.

Students engage with key AMD technologies including the AMD Vitis™ Unified IDE, v++ command line tools, Vivado™ Design Suite, and the Versal adaptive SoC architecture. The hands-on labs, conducted within the Vitis Unified IDE environment, guide learners through building and integrating HLS kernels, AI Engine graphs, and system-level applications. A core project involves creating a complete heterogeneous system using an extensible XSA, developing AI Engine and HLS components, and running hardware emulation on platforms such as the VEK385 or VCK190 evaluation boards. This real-world workflow mirrors industry practices for deploying optimized, multi-domain applications on AMD adaptive SoCs.

This training prepares candidates for the EMBD-HET certification, a recognized credential in the adaptive computing industry that validates expertise in heterogeneous system integration. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 18% and greater eligibility for senior design roles at companies like AMD, Xilinx, and major defense and aerospace contractors. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official AMD courseware, and 1-on-1 mentoring, ensuring mastery of complex toolflows. Graduates are positioned to lead next-generation embedded designs in AI, 5G, and autonomous systems.
