Multiple-day workshop sessions can be scheduled consecutively, several days apart, or even weeks apart, depending on your team's schedule.

How are workshops delivered?

We deliver the same high-quality material through either live virtual sessions or in person, at your location.

How does Xpert-on-Demand work when my team resides in different locations or works remotely?

Video conference-based Xpert-on-Demand services are available.

Does Xpert-on-Demand provide ongoing support services?

Yes. An Xpert-on-Demand will respond to your question within one business day. You are only billed for the support hours used.

Does Xpert-on-Demand include design services, or is it only for instruction and support?

Xpert-on-Demand can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

DesignLinx Board-on-Demand

Try before you buy an AMD evaluation board with QuickStart Board-on-Demand.

How long can I use one of the boards?

Once approved by your AMD FAE or Avnet FAE to use the Board-on-Demand system, you can reserve a virtual board for a period of one-to-five consecutive days. You can make more than one reservation in a 12-month period, but all your reservations—when added together—cannot exceed 30 days during that period.

"We weren’t sure if we had an FPGA issue or a board-level issue. We were introduced to DesignLinx and after some discussions they offered both an FPGA code review and a Schematic and Signal Integrity review. Ultimately it turned out that the signal integrity analysis caught a marginal issue. We spun the board and the problem was fixed!”
