Course Objective
This course will cover the fundamental topics in HW/SW codesign and partitioning concepts in designing
embedded systems. The emphasis will be on goals and
methodology for partitioning hardware/software in
embedded systems.
Topics Covered
Introduction to embedded systems, models and
architectures for system specification, specification
languages, system behavior capture and
implementation, algorithms and techniques for system
partitioning and estimation and modeling methodologies.
