Impact of XUP and UNM collaboration efforts are reflected by educational material produced and posted online for public access. The following is a list of currently available material:

ECE 238 : Computer Logic Design (first class on digital design for EE, CS and CE undergrads)

Topics covered are binary number systems, boolean algebra, combinational, sequential, and register transfer logic. It also includes an introduction to arithmetic/logic unit, memories, computer organization, input-output and microprocessors.

XUP collaboration has enabled UNM to build a laboratory for this class and to produce tutorials and laboratory manuals. This material is updated on a semester basis:

Combinatorial Circuits:

• Laboratory session 1 & 2 : Introduction to digital logic, ISE and ModelSim.
• Laboratory session 3: Introduction to Arithmetic circuits and IP Cores.

Sequential Circuits:

• Laboratory session 4: Introduction to Sequence Detectors and CPLDs
• Laboratory session 5: Introduction to Counters through CPLDs
• Laboratory session 6: Introduction to accumulators, FPGAs and floorplanner
• Laboratory session 7: In depth Exploration of Floorplaner and XPower
• Laboratory session 8: Design project and introduction to Sysgen

Signal and Systems

A series of tutorials were developed as an introduction to the tools and hardware XUP provided to experiment in the field of digital signal processing.

• Sysgen and Xtreme DSP kit tutorials

Professors workshops

As part of the ongoing XUP-UNM collaboration, UNM has hosted several professors workshop and posted online material such as presentations and laboratory manuals.

• Embedded Systems and EDK
• FPGA Design flow
• DSP Design flow

Embedded systems and EDK tutorials

UNM has develop a website whose main purpose is to be a focal point for the introduction of microprocessors in programmable logic. A list of the tutorials that have been developed can be found here.

Projects created by other universities

Several professor workshops have been done abroad. Universities in countries like Peru, Colombia and Ecuator have host these workshops. Some technical reports and tutorials have been send to us by students that attended those workshops. In here you will find some of those documents.

PASI briefing

Members of UNM team went to the First Pan-American Studies Institute on Rapid system prototyping held in Bolivia on Jun 2004. The team presented a talk on UNM experiences on implementing our labs and on our collaboration with XUP. Here is the presentation.
