An Introduction to FPGAs With Embedded Processors
FPGAs with embedded processors are powerful devices, but are they a fit for your designs? This class will introduce several of the currently available device families and will provide an overview of the key elements you need to understand when considering using them in your designs.

Architecture Details
This class will go into some specific architectural details so we better understand the strengths of the various product families that feature embedded processors. Other features that help "round out" the processor (memory interfaces, peripherals, and programmable fabric) are also covered.

Tool Support
The addition of a programmable processor means that some new tools need to be added to the standard FPGA tools flow. This class will examine these new tools and will show how they are used within the FPGA development environment.

A Review of Your Designs
This class will cover designs suggested by students and go through an example review of the design requirements to identify a "best fit" from the products we have seen during the week. It will cover designs that are common to multiple students to provide the most valuable suggestions.
