This course covers a broad range of topics, from the fundamentals of Boolean logic to the architecture of systems-on-chip (SoC), including logic synthesis flows, processor architecture, and the basics of embedded software. VHDL, a hardware description language, also plays a significant role in this course unit and will be studied in lectures and used in lab sessions, as well as in the context of an “Embedded Systems” project.

This course covers a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of Boolean logic to digital SoC (Systems-on-Chip) architecture, including digital design flows, computer architecture, and the basics of embedded software. VHDL will be covered in this course for both logic synthesis and modeling/simulation purposes. Lab sessions include hands-on VHDL exercises (design of a simple stack processor), and a student project on “Embedded Systems” allows students to deepen their knowledge in this area.
