Abstract
This paper reports on a practically oriented undergraduate course in Hardware/Software Codesign which uses an FPGA-based reconfigurable computing platform with a soft processor for analyzing and evaluating hardware/software trade-offs. The Altium Designer design flow was chosen for the practical lab exercises because it smoothly integrates HDL-based FPGA design with Embedded Programming. Furthermore, a "C to hardware" compiler allows to quickly migrate functionality from software to hardware. A complete hardware/software system was emulated on the Altium NanoBoard 3000XN. The board was also used for group projects ranging from image processing to digital audio and video processing. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
