Course Description and Goals

Intention
This course introduces the students to embedded systems design techniques and methods beginning with introduction of the basic concepts, importance and application areas to complex networked embedded systems design.

The course is concerned with advanced aspects of embedded systems as information processing systems that are embedded into a larger product and that are normally not directly visible to the user. It presents numerous tradeoffs in design and implementation, system interaction, realization, and trends that will affect future systems.

The Main Themes
Topics covered in lectures include: Specifications, Design Methodologies, Embedded System Hardware, Embedded Operating Systems and Middleware, Hardware/Software Co-design, IP Reusability, Validation, and Applications.

The Goal
The goal of this course is to teach the basic techniques of HDL model generation of parameterized reconfigurable architectures. At the end of the course, the students will have the designed and presented domain specific processors, mixed circuit design solutions, system-on-chip designs, and networked embedded systems with specifications close to state of the art. Portions of this work will be done individually as a homework; the bulk of the work will be done in groups of two to three as a term project. Modern commercial CAD tools are used to develop this project. The project represents a significant investment at time and is a significant portion of the class grade.

Prerequisites and Course Level

The Requirements
The requirements for this course include introductory course of Fundamentals of Electronics, Analog Integrated Circuits, Digital Logic Circuits and Systems, Micro-architectures, and Computer Architecture. Additionally, students should be familiar with the Basics of CMOS Device, Microprocessor Systems and Programming in C and Assembly, VHDL or Verilog Hardware Design Language, and System Level Design Language SystemC.

Typical Student and Web site
A typical student in this course will be a fourth or a final year undergraduate student in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Textbook

Required textbook:
Embedded System Design, by Peter Marwedel, Kluwer Academic Publishers

Additional Recommended Textbooks:
1) Embedded Systems Handbook, ed. By Richard Zurawski, CRC Press; 2) Embedded Systems, by Rashid Gupta, John Wiley and Sons; 3) System Design with SystemC, by Thorsten Grotker, et al, Kluwer Academic Publishers

Class Hours

The syllabus for this course presumes 14 weeks to the semester. The class meets 3 hours per week. In addition to the class hours, there are 2 hours discussion sections once per week.

Homeworks

There are five homeworks distributed throughout the semester. These homeworks are intended to familiarize students with the material covered both in lecture and selected readings.

Three VHDL/Verilog projects are also distributed through the first half of the semester. These projects are designed to strengthen the students? knowledge of VHDL/Verilog and prepare them for the final project.

All homeworks and projects, with the exception of the final project, must be completed individually.

Exams

One midterm exam will be given in the 7th week of the term; the final exam will take place at the end of the term.
