Part I covers HDL constructs and synthesis of basic digital circuits. Part II provides an overview of embedded software development with the emphasis on low-level I\/O access and drivers. Part III demonstrates the design and development of hardware and software for several complex I\/O peripherals  including PS2 keyboard and mouse  a graphic video controller  an audio codec  and an SD (secure digital) card. Part IV provides three case studies of the integration of hardware accelerators  including a custom GCD (greatest common divisor) circuit  a Mandelbrot set fractal circuit  and an audio synthesizer based on DDFS (direct digital frequency synthesis) methodology. The book utilizes FPGA devices  Nios II soft-core processor  and development platform from Altera Co.  which is one of the two main FPGA manufactures. Altera has a generous university program that provides free software and discounted prototyping boards for educational institutions (details at www.altera.com\/university). The two main educational prototyping boards are known as DE1 ($99) and DE2 ($269). All experiments can be implemented and tested with these boards. A board combined with this book becomes a \"turn-key\" solution for the SoPC design experiments and projects. Most HDL and C codes in the book are device independent and can be adapted by other prototyping boards as long as a board has similar I\/O configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652939505717,"sku":"ByrdShop_111800888X","price":154.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781118008881.jpg?v=1781853814","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/embedded-sopc-design-with-nios-ii-processor-and-vhdl-examples-9781118008881","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
