TSEA02 Computer hardware - a system on chip, 5 ECTS credits.
/Datorteknik - ett datorsystem på ett chip/

For:   D   IT   Y  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 48
Rec. self-study hours: 92

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (A-D): D

Aim:
To teach design methodology for an application specific computer system on a chip with respect to specification, modelling and synthesizing using modern tools. The course intends to give hands-on experience on the design of a system on a chip, optimized for throughput, response time testability, cost, power dissipation.

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. (20h le, 12h se, 16h la)

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.
