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.
