Embedded engineering (2 ECTS): LC : 8h, TC: 4h, LW: 8h
Coordinator: Vincent Vigneron
Teacher: Lamri Nehaoua
- Lectures:
- From interconnected logic devices to programmed logic devices.
- Embedded system design methodology, focus on the abstraction levels.
- System description: introduction to VHDL description language.
- What about microcontrollers and microprocessors: the IP (intellectual property) revolution.
- Tutorial:
- Design of a simple 16-bits processor by using VHDL description.
- Lab work:
- Basic examples of VHDL implementation on an FPGA.
- Altera NIOS processor (or another): an example of using IP bloc.
Students should have some prerequisites about computer architecture, microcontroller concept and logic devices. Some lecture supports about these topics will be prepared and proposed before the start of this course.
