The aim is to present the basics necessary to understand digital circuit from simple gate to a processor (RISCV), mainly through lab work and a practical project.
This course uses a hardware description language (VHDL) to describe the circuits, uses software tools to simulate, synthesis, place and root circuits
.The real target is a FPGA to experiment.
In a first part, digital circuits are studied:
In a second part, these methods are used to design a simple processor able to execute a real instruction set ((RISCV).
This course is given at Academic periods 2 and 3.
PrerequisitesBoolean algebra ; binary arithmetic
