Introduction to Hardware and System Description Languages

Multi-processor systems are based on digital logic. In this lecture, the basics of design and test of digital systems are introduced. The agenda of the lecture includes the introduction to VHDL as well as aspects of design and testing of digital circuits. In addition to this, system-level-design will be outlined including basics of SystemC programming.

Agenda

• Introduction to digital logic
• Introduction to HDL (VHDL)
• ASIC & FPGA design flow
• Test und Verification of digital systems
• System design and TLM Modeling
• Introduction to system-level-design-languages (SystemC)

The lecture includes practical examples and demands active collaboration of the students.
