00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:12,050
‫Welcome to the learning through labs using VHDL of course in this course I'm going to teach you a little

2
00:00:12,050 --> 00:00:18,470
‫bit about myself as well as the structure of the Course and what you can expect to learn a little bit

3
00:00:18,470 --> 00:00:19,390
‫about me.

4
00:00:19,430 --> 00:00:21,850
‫My alma mater is the University of Dayton.

5
00:00:21,890 --> 00:00:28,150
‫I graduated with my Masters of Science Engineering and my focus was on embedded systems.

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,700
‫I'm a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

7
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:40,400
‫My MLB team is the New York Yankees and I love playing with LPGA embedded systems and electronics.

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,330
‫The course structure at the end of the course will cover several different topics.

9
00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:50,750
‫One is how to download and install all the required tools to successfully complete this course as well

10
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:54,980
‫as how to select an FPGA development board for this course.

11
00:00:54,980 --> 00:00:59,590
‫Then after that we're going to jump straight into the labs because this course is only a few labs and

12
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:04,970
‫so that's what we're going to focus on is the labs we're going to introduce a topic and then I'll give

13
00:01:04,970 --> 00:01:10,190
‫you an assignment and after that you'll get a certain amount of code to start with and a design guy

14
00:01:10,220 --> 00:01:14,840
‫which will kind of guide you through how to complete this project and then you actually do the lab and

15
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:15,710
‫there'll be a lot of labs.

16
00:01:15,710 --> 00:01:20,450
‫We have 10 different labs and that's the whole idea of this course is Lancair lab so that's where you

17
00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:25,420
‫are going to learn the most is through the labs and what we learn.

18
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:30,590
‫Several different topics where we learn how to generate random numbers on a digital system or in this

19
00:01:30,590 --> 00:01:37,700
‫case or FPGA how to multiply signed numbers as well as a little bit of processor design and specifically

20
00:01:37,970 --> 00:01:39,540
‫the arithmetic logic unit.

21
00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:44,990
‫And also we're going to interface with various different sensors including a temperature sensor a tilt

22
00:01:44,990 --> 00:01:51,190
‫sensor microphone a potentiometer as well the liquid crystal display.

23
00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:55,030
‫So now that you know everything we're going to do and a little bit about me let's get started.
