###1. Team members

• Trung C. Nguyen
• Waseem Hassan

###2. Description Embedded system lab includes 4 warm-up assignments and 1 final project. The goal of this laboratory is to gain an understanding of the general design methodology of communicating embedded systems as they are employed in technical systems in various fields, such as automotive systems, production automation and control, and mobile communication.

Through the lab, students are going to:

• Make decision about hardware/software partition to achieve specific requirements.
• Design, Implementation, Synthesis and Test of an embedded system

###3. Requirements

• VHDL, Assembler
• Knowledge of embedded system architecture - Polling, Interrupt mechanism - Memory-mapped I/O - Big Endian/ Little Endian - Etc.

###4. Tools and tasks

• Tools and working platform

• Development board: Digilent Genesys (Xilinx FPGA virtex 5)

• Platform: Linux OS

• Synthesize tool: Xilinx ISE 14.7

• Simulation tool: ISIM

• Assembler for customized CPU

• Tasks

  • Hardware implementation: Designing peripheral and interrupt controllers (written in VHDL)
  • Button and switch controller;
  • Audio controller working with AC-97 codec
  • LCD controller working with st7066 LCD
  • Software is written in Assembly and executed on a customized CPU.
