Udemy – FPGA Embedded Design, Part 4 – Microprocessor Design 2020-8 – Full Version

It’s time for a challenge! How does the design of a processor sound?

In this fourth part of the FPGA Embedded Design series, we will design a processor from scratch to finally make it operational on several platforms.

We’ll write most of the code in Vivado Design Suite, but you’ll get to see it work in Quartus Prime, EDA Playground, or LabsLand as well, so you can follow along with your favorite tools. The FPGA boards we will use are the BASYS3, from Digilent (with a Xilinx FPGA), and the DE0-CV from Terasic (with an Intel FPGA). This course consists of three main parts:

• Foundations of Computer Architecture, where we’ll cover the essentials of CPU design and jargon.
• Our own processor design, where we will make several design decisions to come up with a software processor that meets our needs.
• Practical development, where we will write the code, simulate and finally integrate our CPU into an FPGA board. No purchase is required for this part, but it’s definitely helpful to have your own map to follow and to continue tinkering with your new software processor in the future.

What are you waiting for? Let’s have fun designing a CPU!!!
