Introduction

Welcome to SoC design wiki. We started this series of labs/projects from 2014 and we are upgrading and fixing problems every year to make it better.

Learning Objectives

By completion of this SoC Design labs, you should be able to:

Tutorials: Kernel Driver: How to write a simple kernel driver and use it to control a simple IP on ZedBoard. Device Tree: How to introduce new device into on-board Linux’s Device Tree LED blink in VIVADO: Development of simple IPs Integrating IP into the system using AXI bus Controlling the IP from Linux Setup 1 board system for the lab Complex system integration Preparation for project

Project: component reuse and system improvement Functional test and analysis Work in a team Workshop: Introduction to a Network on Chip Simulator Routing algorithms in NoC based systems QoS in NoC based systems

Audio Mixer Project

Project Description

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 Project Description page.
