Consult the [//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software.
Welcome to SoC design wiki. We started this series of labs/projects in 2014 and we are upgrading and fixing problems every year to make it better.

===Learning Objectives===
+
By completion of the SoC Design labs, you should be able to:

+
===Labs Requirements===
+
For these labs we assume that you have passed the following courses:
+
* IAY0600: Digital Systems Design
+
* IAY0330: Embedded Systems
+
So that you are familiar with digital systems and Embedded Systems. You should be familiar with High Level Description Languages like VHDL or Verilog (our main focus is on VHDL but if you know Verilog, it is also ok!).

'''Lab grading  policy'''
+
* Tutorials (Pass/Fail - prerequisite for project) (this is prerequisite for project)
+
* Project (50% of grade)
+
* Examination (50% of grade)
+
 
+
'''In order to pass the course, you have to get a positive result in both the project and the exam.'''
+
 
+
'''You cannot finish the project without passing all tutorial labs!'''

==Rules and Regulations==
+
<span style="color:red"> '''Please read the following page before you start the course:''' </span>
+
 
+
===Timing and Plans===
+
'''Please note that the project ends at the end of semester and will not be extended.'''
+
 
+
===General Rules===
+
* <span style="color:red">'''Unplugging any cables from the lab computers is NOT ALLOWED!'''</span> If you use your own computer, please use Wi-Fi.
+
* It is '''OK''' to discuss your code with co-students during the labs.
+
* Copying co-student's code '''is not''' OK! You need to write it yourself.
+
* You '''must''' understand the code you write! We will check everyone.
+
 
+
===Writing Code===
+
We would like to re-use your code later on so keep these things in mind:
+
* '''Use comments in your code.''' Even you, as the programmer, who wrote the code, will otherwise not understand your code after a while.
+
* '''Write a proper doc-string for the functions.''' It makes the life of you and others a lot easier.
+
* '''Use meaningful variable names.''' The purpose of a variable with the name "counterMaxValue" is much easier to understand that the same variable with the name "cMNum", for example.
+
 
+
===In Case of Problems===
+
'''Please use the following methods in the following order for solving your issues:'''
+
 
+
# Check the current lab's additional materials.
+
# Re-read the lab manual to make sure you did not miss anything.
+
# Google your problems
+
# Ask the lab assistants for help.
+
 
+
'''NOTE:''' In case you find a problem with the documentation, please tell the assistants. Then we can fix the problem and everyone will be happy :)

+
[[File:Zedboard_icon.png|53px|left]]
+
Design project is defined in each round for System on Chip design(IAY0550) students with the aim of providing them with real world experience of working on a SoC project, teamwork and project management. This wiki will serve as a platform for students to pass-on their designs and documents to students in the next round of course. Full description of the project can be found on the Project Description page
+
* '''[[Project Description]] page'''.
+
 
+
==Git==
+
[[File:github.png|43px|left]]
+
The project code should be stored in git. Every component of the project should be uploaded as a separate branch.
+
 
+
There exists a dedicated Github repository for the course, that can be accessed here: [https://github.com/karljans/SoC_Design]
+
