Design Example (cont’d)
Implementation steps1. Choose HW or SW implementation per operation2. Design the analog IO parts3. Design the Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
1. Pass the PCB files to manufacturing firms4. HW: Develop the FPGA contents
1. Program the FPGA configuration EEPROM
5. SW: Develop the 8051 program1. Program the 8051 instruction memory (EEPROM)
6. Integrate HW, SW, and the PCB7. Test1. Limited test in isolation (as far as possible)2. Test in action (on the robot)

Analysis
Development Isolated (SW, HW, Analog electronics)
Consistency check: designers
Debug Before PCB is available Isolated (SW, HW, Analog)
After PCB is available1. Remove the EEPROM/8051
2. Change the configuration/program3. Re-insert the EEPROM/8051
What if PCB initial design (or analog parts) was wrong?

Some other problems
Tools used
Protel, OrCAD for PCB Altera MAX+Plus II for FPGA
8051 command-line compiler and debugger

Solution
Try to do as much of the tests as early aspossible in the design cycle
Step 1: Combine HW and SW simulationStep 2: Add analog parts as well
Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) simulation
Step 3: Entire design of the PCB?

Ideas for course project
Alternative 1: App. case study1. Select an embedded application
2. Design an executable specification for it
3. Step by step manually refine it to HW-SW implementation4. Report performance, area, power & compare with full-SW& write a paper (optional)
Suggestions Data compressor/decompressor
Voice codec A game
JPEG, JPEG2000

Alternative 2: Methodology case study1. Select a system design language and methodology
2. Implement an application using them
3. Give a presentation
Suggestions:
Handle-C & Celoxica “DK Design Suite” SpecC & the associated tools from UCI

Alternative 3: Case study in ODYSSEY
1. Select an application
2. Develop an OO C++ program for that3. Implement it as HW-SW system using
ODYSSEY tools and flows
Suggestions
The same applications as in alternative 1
