Abstract :
The rapid advances in the FPGA technology along with high-levels of system integration have made FPGAs the preferred platform not only for rapid prototyping but also for production of digital embedded systems. This paper presents the experience of a team of instructors in designing and conducting a short course on implementing FPGA-based digital systems for industry professionals. The selection of topics, course organization, the issues involved in designing effective hands-on exercises and the response of the students to the course are discussed.
