Alen Cherian - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Digital ASIC design engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Created complex video pipelines and now design reusable IP-based FPGA projects efficiently
The best features of AMD Vivado Design Suite is that it is a mature tool with a very good GUI. The most fascinating feature is its block design feature, which allows me to add and drop various IPs from AMD Vivado Design Suite's IP catalog and create a block design for my video designs. That is the one feature that I find very interesting. It is also very easy to source control AMD Vivado Design Suite projects using Git. The IP catalog is another valuable feature, and it is a very good tool that I install on all of my employees' project devices.

Container workloads have run reliably and now support secure, customizable services
It is important that Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages has long-term support for mission-critical operations, because there are applications which need to be updated if we are going with a newer version. I do not see areas for improvement in Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages because it satisfies our requirements. Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages is 99% stable and reliable. It is not our primary OS; we are using it for specific services for containers and specific services. We have also introduced AI into the platform. For example, if an updated version of Redis is available, that updated version will not be available in Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages repository. In that case, we have to pull it directly from the Redis servers and install it manually for it to work for us. I give this product a rating of 9.
