Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Microprocessor fundamentals corresponding to the contents of Computer hardware and architecture. Basic knowledge of DSP, corresponding to the contents of Signals and systems. Basic knowledge of VHDL or Verilog, corresponding to the contents of Computer hardware and architecture or Design of Digital Systems.
Intended learning outcomes
To give student industrial design experiences to design application specific instruction set processors as well as embedded systems. After completing the course, students shall:
- have knowledge of the concepts of embedded systems, DSP implementation, DSP processor architecture, DSP hardware with finite data precision.
- be able to design an application specific instruction set including profiling, instruction set specification, SW-HW co-design, instruction set coding, and instruction set benchmarking
- be able to design the microarchitecture of a processor or other computation unit, including the design of the register file, ALU, MAC, control path, memory subsystem, and peripherals
- be able to write efficient firmware for computation kernels with finite data precision on a DSP processor
- have knowledge of firmware development toolchain
- have knowledge of processor integration and verification.
Course content
General DSP processors. ASIP (Application Specific Instruction Set Processors) for DSP. Differences between CPU and DSP. ASIP design methods. Numeric representations for DSP and its hardware. Data path design, memory- and bus architecture, and DSP Addressing. Instruction set design. Performance analysis and evaluation of DSP processors. Control path design. Peripherals and DMA. DSP Firmware design, assembly simulators, debuggers and development environments. Processor verification techniques.
Teaching and working methods
Lectures, tutorials, and laborations. During the labs each student will complete a small DSP processor.
