ALTERA DE-1 SOC Kit to be used in this year's design lab

You can take the course if ->

you are a Senior EE students who have performed well (C1 and above) in ELE237 Digital Design, ELE336 Microprocessor Programming and Architecture courses.
you can spend extra hours (not necessarily during course times) for Labs and a Class Project.

You should to take the course if ->

you would like to expertise yourself in computer architecture and digital design field.
you would like to learn about cutting edge state-of-the-art technology in the digital design.

Objectives

Learn the state-of-the-art FPGA technology in general
Review sequential and combinational design concepts
Improve on hardware design languages - VHDL
How to use some of the modern CAD tools to help with the design? Quartus II?
How to implement such designs using programmable logic (e.g. FPGAs - Altera Cyclone V)?
How do digital building blocks (such as memory, microprocessors, ALU, control unit, FSM etc.) work?
How to implement a simple CPU.
How to design an improved version of CPU?
How to interface to microprocessors and computers (from hardware point of view)?
How to work with IP (Intellectual Property) cores? NIOS II etc.

Grading

Project (Midterm exam) %35, Final Exam (Written) %35, Laboratories (1+3 graded labs) %30
