Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
1. Knowledge and understanding of:
I. Data paths and Control paths and number of ways of designing them;
II. Instruction-set based control path design;
III. Control and data path integration;
IV. Capture the design of hardware-software digital systems in a standard hardware description language.
2. Intellectual:
I. Ability to use and choose between different techniques for digital system design and capture;
II. Ability to evaluate implementation results (e.g. speed, area, power) and correlate them with the corresponding high level design and capture.
3. Practical:
I. Ability to use a commercial digital system development tool suite to develop a hardware-software digital system and prototype them on to FPGA hardware. |
