Area of Education: Technology Subject area: Electrical Engineering |
||||
| Advancement level
(G1, G2, A): A
|
||||
| Aim: The course intends to give hands-on experience on the design of an advanced application specific computer system on a chip with regard to performance, response time, testability, cost, interaction between hardware and software. After a completed course the student shall be able to: * Integrate a computer of IP blocks to solve a specific problem * Design and integrate accelerators * Modify the instruction set of the computer to achieve speed up * Design hardware to measure the performance of the computer * Design application software in C/asm * Implement the design in an FPGA |
||||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TSEA03 Switching Theory and Logical Design, TSEA19, 20 Computer Hardware and Architecture, TSEA40 Digital Project Laboratory. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
||||
| Organisation: Lectures, seminars and laboratory work. During the laboratory work sub blocks of a complete embedded system are designed and tested. |
||||
| Course contents: Large VHDL blocks (IP blocks) are treated as components during the design phase. CPUs, interconnects, memories, I/O units are optimized for an application. Modification of a cross compiler for C/C++. Adaptation of OS (Linux) and application software. Simulation. Implementation in FPGA. |
||||
| Course literature: To be decided. |
