ARM1176 SoC Design by Doulos Ltd

Product Description

ARM1176 SoC DESIGN
==================
A 5-day comprehensive class covering the ARM architecture and instruction sets for ARM7 to ARM11 processor families, and in-depth tuition on ARM11 SoC design - including the AMBA3.0 (AXI) interface and connection of IP blocks into an existing ARM11 System. Special features of the processor, such as debug features, initialisation and bootstrap, the v6 memory system and clocks and resets are also addressed.

MATERIALS
Doulos course materials are renowned for being the most comprehensive and user friendly available. Their style, content and coverage is unique in the HDL training world, and has made them sought after resources in their own right.
