Increasing system complexity has created a pressing need for better design tools and associated methodologies and languages for meeting the stringent time to market and cost constraints. Platform-centric and platform based system-on-chip (SoC) design methodologies, based on reuse of software and hardware functionality, has also gained increasing exposure and usage within the Electronic System-Level (ESL) design communities. Embedded systems are designed for dedicated applications running in control systems. The unique feature of such systems is the capability to perform timely and predictable operations in response to concurrent requests arriving from the external environment. To create an effective embedded system one must properly employ the appropriate system architecture, hardware/software interfaces, peripheral devices, and software components.
With the improvement and increase in the FPGA technology along with high levels of the computers, it has made FPGAs the preferred platform not only for rapid prototyping but also for production of digital embedded systems.
Digital designs once built in custom silicon are increasingly implemented in field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Effective FPGA system design requires a strong understanding of design issues and constraints, and an understanding of the latest FPGA-specific techniques.
At the end of the course student can understand the FPGA based system design, solve a real-world problems and map and port these problems in an FPGA board.
Students Get Hands-On Experience of State of the art tools and technologies
1) FPGA Architecture and Implementation
2) System Design using 65 nm and 28 nm FPGA technology
3) Hardware Design Methodology – Register Transfer Level Design using VHDL/Verilog
4) Static Timing and Power Analysis
5) Simulation on modelsim
6) EDA Tool flow: (Xilinx Vivado, Altera Quartus, Syplicity Tool)
7) System on Chip (Zynq-7000 line of 28 nm SoC devices and Altera DE1 Soc dual-core Cortex-A9)
