The "FPGA Design for Embedded Systems" course offers a deep dive into the world of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Complex Programmable Logic Devices (CPLDs). With a focus on practical application, learners will gain proficiency in creating FPGA prototypes and products for diverse applications. The course encompasses an array of topics, including Verilog, VHDL, and RTL design for FPGA and CPLD architectures, FPGA development tools flow, configurable embedded processors, use of soft-core and hard-core processors, FPGA system engineering, IP development, and more. Through hands-on projects, participants will develop a broad perspective of various Programmable SoC solutions and ultimately build FPGA systems based on low-cost evaluation boards.
By the end of the course, learners will have acquired skills in creating FPGA working systems on a chip design, understanding and practicing all aspects of FPGA development, and applying hierarchical design methods to create larger designs in VHDL or Verilog. The course culminates in a capstone project where participants will implement the concepts covered by building FPGA systems based on low-cost evaluation boards.
