Welcome to the public section of the ECE 6050 course official site!
This is your required source of information to the course Advanced Microprocessor Applications, offered by the ECE Department. In this course, we will primarily be focusing on various aspects of memory systems design, interfacing to multi-processor bus systems, and hardware/software co-design. The design projects will be based upon the hardware/software co-design concept for contemporary System-on-Chip (SoC) programmable logic devices. Industry standard development software by Xilinx will be used to design, simulate and implement digital systems. ECE 6050 is a core concentration area course for students majoring in the Master's in Computer Engineering program. Your instructor this Spring is Dr. Janos Grantner.
