Content
The module provides overview and special knowledge in the fields of simulation, evaluation and verification of digital systems. The practical course accompanying the lecture includes practical experience in programming digital systems using the hardware description language VHDL and the modelling language SystemC.
Qualification goals
After successful completion of this module, the participants have qualifying knowledge in the areas of simulation, evaluation and verification of digital systems, such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), and in the area of modeling digital systems using SystemC. Further, they have practical skills in programming digital systems using the hardware description language VHDL and experience from sample projects.
Prerequisites for awarding credit points
The credit points are awarded upon passing the module examination. The module examination consists of a 60-minute written exam. The examination language is English.
Credit points and grades
6 credit points can be earned through the module. The module grade corresponds to the grade of the examination performance.
