Imagination University Programme is pleased to host a series of workshops specifically for teachers, based on the award winning "MIPSfpga" Core. MIPSfpga is the RTL source code of the MIPS microAptiv for implementation on an FPGA. It is a member of the same family found in many embedded devices, including the popular PIC32MZ microcontroller from Microchip and Samsung’s new Artik1.
This workshop will show you how to use this core as part of a Computer Architecture course, which will pave the way for your students to use it in their projects, in effect creating their own SoC designs.
With its long heritage and excellent documentation MIPS is the preferred choice of RISC architecture for many teachers around the world. In the past, teachers had to settle for creating partial “MIPS-like” cores or using unofficial copies of dubious heritage to demonstrate key concepts. Not now! MIPSfpga is the real “industrial” RTL, non-obfuscated, and available freely for academic use.
These workshops are part of a global programme of events to enable teachers to harness this wonderful technology. You can be among the first to get hands-on with MIPSfpga!
Locations/Date
College of Engineering, Pune on 23rd or 24th May 2016
VEDA Institute of Information Technology Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad: 26th or 27th May 2016
It starts at 09:30 and ends at 18:00.
After your day of training you will be proficient in porting MIPSfpga to a suitable platform, and aware of its potential to revolutionise your teaching of Computer Architecture.
All delegates will be given access instructions to the
- MIPSfpga core.
- The full Getting Started Guide (written by Sarah Harris with contributions from Xilinx).
- Detailed reference documentation about MIPS microAptiv.
- Other vital information/programs that enable the whole package to work effectively.
You are recommended to use the pre-configured workstations provided at the venue
These workshops are free of charge for members of academia but places are limited and demand will be strong, so please apply for your place quickly. Please do not apply if you are not sure you can attend.
