Imposing a Uni ed Design Methodology on Independent Rapid Prototyping Tools

چکیده
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 subsystems. In the process we developed software which not only smoothed out the design ow, but also lled in some glaring gaps in the platform's functionality which had not been provided by any vendor. The insight gained from the exercise is re ected in a \wish{list" of features which we hope will be provided by vendors in the near future.

متن کاملA Design Methodology for Hardware Prototyping of Integrated AC Drive Control: Application to Direct Torque Control of an Induction Machine
This paper presents a Top-down methodology for hardware rapid prototyping of integrated Alternating Current (AC) drive control, based on Hardware Description Languages (HDL’s). This methodology is a set of procedures and Computer Aided Design tools to optimize development time, final product cost and reusability of the digital electronic system design. The use of HDL’s provides continuous check...
متن کاملRapid Prototyping for Service-Oriented Architectures
Because Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) usually involve different independent stakeholders, producing meaningful prototypes for validating early design ideas is a difficult task. This paper presents a Rapid Prototyping framework for SOAs built around a Model-Driven Development methodology which we use for transforming high-level specifications of an SOA into executable artefacts, both for...
متن کاملNational Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA ) / American Society for Engineering Education ( ASEE ) Summer Faculty Fellowship Program - 1996
As the complexity of electronic systems grows, the traditional design practice, a sequential process, is replaced by concurrent design methodologies. A major advantage of concurrent design is that the feedback from software and manufacturing engineers can be easily incorporated into the design. The implementation of concurrent engineering methodologies is greatly facilitated by employing the la...
متن کاملUsing a Rapid Prototyping Machine in the Integrated Kinematics, Dynamics, and Machine Design Lab
According to a recent trend, two different labs the Machine Design lab, and Kinematics, and Dynamics lab are combined into one integrated lab. The time students spend on their projects is halved. To save the quality of undergraduate education, an ew methodology has to be developed. The paper explains the methodology developed by the author while teaching the integrated Kinematics, Dynamics, and...
