Prototyping hardware and software environment for teaching digital circuit design

چکیده
In the paper, we present our latest achievements and experience in undergraduate teaching of digital circuits, integrated circuits and embedded systems by exploiting our prototyping hardware and software environment. The hardware environment is based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) modules that provide sufficient flexibility and support a broad scope of digital design applications. In addition, the designed software environment supports user-friendly hardware verification of the logic circuits implemented on the hardware system. We describe some typical applications and student projects implemented on the programmable prototyping system.

متن کاملSelf authentication path insertion in FPGA-based design flow for tamper-resistant purpose
FPGA platforms have been widely used in many modern digital applications due to their low prototyping cost, short time-to-market and flexibility. Field-programmability of FPGA bitstream has made it as a flexible and easy-to-use platform. However, access to bitstream degraded the security of FPGA IPs because there is no efficient method to authenticate the originality of bitstream by the FPGA pr...
متن کاملImposing a Uni ed Design Methodology on Independent Rapid Prototyping Tools
The teaching of digital design requires a design platform which presents a coherent design methodology to the students. Yet we found ourselves with di erent tools and hardware subsystems, each having its own idea about what digital design was about. Here we record our e ort to forge a single design platform for beginning designers from three separate software subsystems and two hardware subsyst...
