Learning outcome
Knowledge - The candidate is able to:
- Explain various aspects of security in systems with programmable circuits.
- Know the basic properties of Verilog.
Skills - The candidate is able to:
- Use high-level modeling languages to describe digital systems.
- Use computer tools to implement and test digital systems.
General competence - The candidate is able to:
- Acquire new technical knowledge, and be able to present and communicate this orally in an understandable way.
- Plan, specify and carry out project work together with others.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures. Supervision. Independent work. Project.
Further on evaluation
The course consists of an individual part (several smaller programming assignments and oral presentations) and a project part (a larger programming assignment in a group) where an overall letter grade is given. It is a prerequisite that you have completed both parts in order to pass the course.
In case of failure or voluntary repetition, all elements of the course must be repeated at the next regular completion of the course.
