CEC Semester Eight 2015

Beyond the basic SoC, ARM processors are being used in configurable devices including those with FPGAs and other types of programmable logic. We will discuss a couple of these devices and look at how the ARM processor integrates with the device...

ARM provides and architecture and the Intellectual Property (IP) for chip designers to implement devices. In this lecture we will look at several specific implementations in the basic System on Chip (SoC) market. This will not be an exhaustive...

In our final class, we will program a FRDM-K64 demo board from Freescale Semiconductor to perform some IPv4 and IPv6 functions and monitor them with Wireshark. We will then use this to troubleshoot our application. We will close the class with...

In this class, we will look at the cybersecurity features and functionality in Wireshark. We will see some ways to monitor attacks and hacks into our network. We will also look at some of the vulnerabilities in Wireshark that we need to be aware of.

In this class, we will make use of the functionality in Wireshark to do some sniffing within our local network and learn about packet assembly and basic network traffic analysis.

We will install Wireshark on our test computers and get familiar with the basic functions. We will look at working with various adapters on your computer as well as the basics of filtering and triggering.

In this class, we will look at the basic structures in IPv4 and IPv6. This will allow us to understand the terms and structures that we will examine and evaluate through the rest of the course.

An example, suggested by the students, will illustrate the full development flow from project definition to a running design with selected screen shots in the class PPT. Students with the software or hardware can follow along as a homework exercise.

In this class the process of targeting an existing development board will be demonstrated. Students without the board will still be able to follow along with the class and will see a working application using the software debugger.

This class will go step by step through the process of obtaining and using a typical SoC FPGA design tool chain. The Xilinx Vivado 30-day evaluation will be used and students are encouraged (optional) to download and install the software to follow...
