En la actualidad, el hardware de soporte en sistemas digitales se suele diseñar en un solo circuito integrado FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), en parte debido al abundante espacio físico que ocuparía una implementación con varios circuitos integrados dedicados para este fin. Los FPGAs son circuitos integrados digitales que pueden implementar cualquier circuito digital que el usuario desee, dado que consisten de un arreglo de dispositivos digitales (compuertas, flip-flops, etc.), una red de interconexiones y una memoria capaz de controlar las conexiones entre los dispositivos finales. La programación de un FPGA comienza con un Lenguaje de Descripción de Hardware (HDL), siendo Verilog uno de los dominantes en la industria. En este curso en línea conocerás varios aspectos básicos de Verilog, tales como su sintaxis, el paradigma concurrente de programación de hardware y simulación básica, entre otros.
An excellent online course offered by edX: how it works
edX courses consist of weekly learning sequences. Each learning sequence is composed of short videos interspersed with interactive learning exercises, where students can immediately practise the concepts from the videos. The courses often include tutorial videos that are similar to small on-campus discussion groups, an online textbook, and an online discussion forum where students can post and review questions and comments to each other and teaching assistants. Where applicable, online laboratories are incorporated into the course.
edX offers certificates of successful completion and some courses are credit-eligible. Whether or not a college or university offers credit for an online course is within the sole discretion of the school. edX offers a variety of ways to take courses, including verified courses where students have the option to audit the course (no cost) or to work toward an edX Verified Certificate (fees vary by course). edX also offers XSeries Certificates for completion of a bundled set of two to seven verified courses in a single subject (cost varies depending on the courses).
