Q

This document outlines a course on software hardware co-design for embedded systems. The course covers topics such as specification of embedded systems, hardware/software partitioning constraints and tradeoffs, co-design concepts, partitioning methodologies, unified representation, co-simulation and co-verification, and co-simulation/co-synthesis tools. The expected outcome is for students to understand and apply co-design steps such as modeling, partitioning, co-synthesis and co-simulation for tightly coupled embedded systems with real-time constraints.
