Simulation and Verification
of Embedded Systems
Tuesday, May 17, 2011 10:30 - 12:00 / 1:00 - 2:15
Dr. Subramaniam Ganesan |
Workshop on Advances in Embedded System
Subra Ganesan and ETAS engineer
This workshop will cover advances in embedded system design. An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, often with real-time computing constraints. We will cover advances in microcontrollers, FPGAs, networking requirement, design of embedded systems ranging from portable devices such as digital Personal Digital Assistance to large stationary installations like traffic lights, and factory controllers, Real time operating system lime micro Cos, scheduling tasks to meet deadlines, advanced DSP microprocessors, software tools to design DSP systems, i.MX 5x series Freescale micro, design of multimedia systems. Use of Matlab autocode generator, and LabView based FPGA code generator.
We will also cover use of ETAS software tools like ASCET, and INTECRIO tools for designing real time embedded systems, and embedded system validation and verification techniques. A discussion on the various embedded system education courses, syllabus, laboratory needs and challenges in upgrading to the latest technology.
