Course content
Course aim is to present techniques for concurrent hardware and software development so called hardware/software co-design. Students will be familiarized with models for hardware and software behavioral description, H/S cooperation and with algorithms partitioning tasks into hardware and software. Simulation, synthesis and verification techniques will also be presented in the course. In labs, studen will use FPGA circuits and Xilinx or Mentor design tools.
