Learning outcomes

The student learns basic concepts of System-on-Chip and its division to hardware platform, software platform and application layers. Logical layers, standards and implementation of layers and interfaces are studied in detail. A practical view is given by exercises, in which a multiprocessor system is created on FPGA and used as platform for an example real-time application.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. System-on-Chip as a heterogeneous parallel multiprocessor system. Typical SoC architecture with fixed-function IP-blocks, processors, memories, peripherals, on-chip network.  Modularization of HW and SW components.  XML-based metadata for design automation. 
2. Model based design flow. Abstraction and orthogonalization of concerns.  Code generation from UML2 models for SoC.  UML2 Profile for SoC. 
3. Layered system model. Hardware related SoC standards for interfaces. Middleware and embedded operating systems for SoC. APIs and drivers for IP blocks.  IP-XACT, OCP-IP, eCOS/POSIX, CORBA/e.   Performance and memory footprint issues in middleware and other layers. 
4. Hands-on exercise with multiprocessor SoC on FPGA. Application with hard real time requirements.  Threading, resource management, constraining for real-time.
