Computer-Aided Engineering - winter term 06/07
overview
| description |
This is a practical course that is designed for Computer Science students that have completed the Vordiplom or are in the Masters program. This course will introduce students to the world of hardware design. Students will be exposed to multiple design methods and industrial design software tools. Learning not only how to design hardware, students will learn to optimise, test and verify their circuits. Students should hopefully finish this course will a good overview of the design process and a solid knowledge of design tools. The course will begin by introducing students to the design tool used industry today. Students will start by describing their hardware with the aid of a graphical interface, later using VHDL and state machines. Students will then learn how to Simulate, Synthesis, Verify and Test, and lastly implement their hardware on an FPGA. Once student are familiar with the tools and the design process, they will be asked to design and implement a processor that can interact with multiple peripheral devices such as a keyboard and monitor. Student will also have to provide an assembly program to verify that there system works. Students will be asked to document there system and provide a demonstration of their work to prove that they have a good understanding the entire system. Prerequirements for this course are „Rechnerarchitektur und –entwurf", Technische Informatik, and the Hardware-Praktikum. A basic understanding in VHDL is also advised but not required. The practical course is worth 6 credit points. Course materials and documents are in English, however some are in German. |
