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 earned when the module examination has been passed. For up to 10 registered participants, the module examination consists of an oral examination performance as an individual examination lasting 30 minutes. If there are more than 10 participants, the examination consists of a written examination lasting 60 minutes. The type of concrete examination will be determined by the module supervisor at the end of the examination registration period and will be publicly announced in accordance with faculty practice.
Credit points and grades
6 credit points can be earned through the module. The module grade corresponds to the grade of the examination performance.
