CEC Semester Seven 2015

Our "hands-on" environment for this class will consist of the inexpensive Freescale FRDM-K64F development board, the Kinetis Development System IDE (downloadable free from Freescale), and the FNET open source IPv.6 stack that is downloadable from...

A review ofIPv.6 and its major differences from IPv.4, including some of the challenges of implementing it on smaller microcontrollers. We will also look briefly at IPv.6's role in the developing standards for the IoT and how we may wish to use...

How do the software tools translate your design into the configuration bit streams needed to configure your programmable device? This class will provide an introduction to many of the key parts of the common tool flows and an understanding of how...

An even higher level of specialized logic that is being added to many high-capacity programmable logic devices are complete MCU subsystems. These 'hardened' blocks have processors, memory and peripherals- all the elements needed for a complete...

The general purpose nature of programmable logic switches and logic elements are very flexible, but inefficient for implementing common high-level building blocks for most digital sub-systems. Most programmable logic devices add some fixed...

Once the underlying configuration technology is understood, it is important to understand how the logic elements and their associated switches are implemented. This class will give some examples showing how logic elements and switches can be used...

Programmable logic starts first with the technology used to implement the configurable logic that makes up a programmable logic device. This class will review the primary technology used to implement the configurable elements common to all...
