Advanced Motor Drive Controller (AMDC) Firmware

GitHub Release Project Maintenance GitHub Activity

The Advanced Motor Drive Controller (AMDC) is an open-source project from the Severson Research Group.

Learn more at docs.amdc.dev.


AMDC-Firmware is a collection of embedded system code (written in C and Verilog) which runs on the AMDC Hardware and controls advanced motor systems. It is open-source, high-performance, flexible, and research-oriented.

The target processor is the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC which includes both a dual-core DSP and tightly integrated FPGA. The AMDC firmware utilizes both parts of the processor (DSP + FPGA).

Getting Started

  1. Obtain a working hardware platform -- see the obtaining hardware page for more.
  2. Follow the steps outlined here to download, build, and run the firmware.
  3. Read the documentation for more insight into the platform.
