2. What will you learn from this course? What is a System-on-Chip (SoC)? –Motivation –History –State-of-Art What are the design issues? –Complexity: digital, analog, mixed, IP, memory, … –Hardware-software codesign –Functional Verification: full-chip, hw, sw, … How to design and verify an SoC? –Design & Verification Flow –Design & Verification Tools

3. Who should take this course? Interested in becoming a system (hardware- software) engineer Interested in designing SoCs EE background: learn system design, embedded software design, verification CS background: learn SoC architecture, embedded hardware design, verification Essential backgrounds: C/C++ programming, computer architecture, OS

4. Who should NOT take this course? Only wants course credits Only because SoC is popular Does not like research Does not like projects Does not like using tools or lab work Not creative (lack of new ideas) Yawns and goes to sleep when someone is talking about system design
