Embedded systems design - course description

Aim of the course

• familiarize students with the basic techniques of integrated design (co-design) of the hardware and software system
• forming among students the understanding of the necessity of integrating solutions
• hardware and software in an embedded system
• development of basic skills in the design of systems and systems
• prisoners, and their software.

Scope

Trends on the electronics market, especially integrated systems. The role of systems embedded in modern electronics. An integrated approach to designing as new quality in relation to traditional methods. Basic design stages integrated: specification, translation into a formal model, modeling, verification, co-simulation, decomposition, implementation of hardware and software parts. Specification microprocessor systems at the system level. Application of description languages hardware (VHDL, Verilog, etc.) and programming (C / C ++, Java, etc.) for system representation
hardware and software. Formal models used in integrated design: requirements and features of models. Discussion of the most important types of models. architecture integrated systems (typical elements of architecture, a typical architecture template, coprocessor operating mode, cost of HW / SW interface). Specialized hardware processors (FPGA / CPLD) and software (ASIP).

Teaching methods

Assignment conditions

• Lecture - A pass condition is to get a positive exam grade implemented in writing. The condition to take the exam is a positive assessment from the laboratory.
• Laboratory - the condition for passing is to get positive grades from everyone laboratory exercises planned for implementation as part of the laboratory program (80%) and active participation in classes (20%).
• Components of the final grade = lecture: 50% + laboratory: 50%
