ECE 520/L. System on Chip Design and Laboratory (3/1)

Prerequisites: ECE 420, ECE 425. Corequisite: ECE 520L. Introduction to system on chip design methodology that includes the study of ZYNQ and ARM architectures, AXI Interconnect, memory, real-time operating system (RTOS), peripheral interface and components, and contemporary high-density FPGAs. Lab: This laboratory course reinforces the system-on-chip design concept developed in the lecture course. It focuses on software hardware co-design and development and hardware verification of ZYNQ systems using Vivado software tools and ZYNQ development boards.
