Content(s)

The course is focused on the following aspects:

  • Methodology of SoC design, modeling and specification
  • Functional Models
  • Transactional Models (TLM)
  • Cycle Accurate Models (BCA)
  • High Level Synthesis Models
  • Software / hardware partitioning / co-design / co-simulation
  • SoCs performance analysis (cycles / power)
  • Embedded software design (HW parameters to header files, Initialization / Boot code, Device drivers)
    The course integrates many labs with the aim of familiarizing students with high level modeling languages ex.SystemC/C++ ?and their application to the SoC design flow. The aspects of functional modeling, TLM, BCA, RTL, HLS, Power, eSW as well as cosimulation will be tackled in the labs sessions.
