Additional information
Note to Finnish students: Kurssin kaikki materiaali on englanniksi, mutta harjoituksissa, tentissä ja muussa kommunikaatiossa voi vastata myös suomeksi riippuen henkilökunnan kielitaidosta. Luennoista voidaan harkinnan varaisesti ja erikseen pyydettäessä järjestää suomenkielisiä tiivistettyjä esityksiä.

Learning Outcomes
After this course, a student can implement a working digital system according to specification, i.e. convert a natural language specification into hardware description, verify it, and synthesize into FPGA chip. Moreover, students learn the relation between VHDL description and logic realization, can determine its behavior with given stimulus, and understand clock synhronization principles.
