Description

Are you eager to explore electronics or bridge a knowledge gap in System-on-Chip design? Maybe you're a hobbyist eager to build SoCs for your projects. If this sounds like you, welcome!

In this course, we'll dive into creating System-on-Chips. From learning assembly and C code to simulating RTL and seeing the magic of an FPGA.


AGENDA


The agenda for this course is a breakdown of everything you need to know to build the final project.

The final project is a working System-on-chip with some peripherals: mainly a GPIO module and a UART transmitter.


• Section 1: Introduction

• Section 2: Processors

• Section 3: Software, Compiler and Linker

• Section 4: Building simple SoC

• Section 5: Adding a peripheral to the SoC

• Section 6: Accelerated Advanced IP Design for the SoC

• Section 7: UART IP Core

• Section 8: FPGA Emulation

•   +10 Labs


You will …

• Learn the first principles of how complex computer chips work.

• Learn how processors execute machine code.

• Learn RISC-V ISA.

• Learn how to work with make files, compilers, and linker scripts.

• Learn how to add external peripherals and use register maps.

• Learn the basics of the FPGA flow.

• Have hands-on experience with designing the RISC-V SoC, Writing and debugging software for it, and implementing it on an FPGA board.


Join a community of enthusiasts and learners. This isn't just theory; you'll gain hands-on knowledge and bring your SoC designs to life!
