FPGA design for Embedded Systems

The general objective of this course is to provide professional skill development and hand-on experience in the field of FPGA/SoC-based Digital Systems Design, using HDL description languages and reconfigurable microprocessor systems.

Participants will gain:

• theoretical knowledge of FPGA/SoC structures, understanding their possibilities and limitations
• knowledge of specific CAD software tools for FPGA – and SoC – based systems
• knowledge of Hardware Description Languages and their efficient usage for Digital Design creation
• developing skills for testing, debug and optimization of digital projects for speed and/or area
• gaining knowledge of how to use the FPGA-specific digital components efficiently: BRAM, DDR controllers, Clocking Circuits etc.
• developing systematic design and methodologies that combine analysis simulation and practical experiments
