Hardware – software co-design of FPGA-based electronic systems
The main topic of this course is the design of complex electronic systems consisting of several virtual components (VHDL models): processors executing programs, standard or application-specific co-processors, memories, bus and memory interfaces, input and output channels, etc. The corresponding development steps are: generation of a VHDL model, simulation, synthesis, FPGA implementation and downloading of the programming file to a prototyping board. In order to synthesize application-specific co-processors, an important aspect is the capability of designing arithmetic circuits (another topic of the course).
Key words: hardware – software co-design, IP (intellectual property) components, VHDL, fast prototyping, FPGA, synthesis of arithmetic circuits
