在本文中，我们描述了一个实验室会话为基础的硬件/软件（HW/SW）协同设计课程，实现嵌入式系统。本课程的目标是教授嵌入式系统设计的基本概念，培养动手的硬件/软件协同设计技能，并展示探索设计空间的许多可能方法。选择HW/SW协同设计方法的原因是它带来了两个世界中最好的：SW的灵活性和HW的功率/能量/计算效率。作为一个示例项目，学生在Xilinx Zybo板中共同设计著名的RSA公钥密码系统，该板包含Xilinx 7系列FPGA和嵌入式ARM处理单元。学生需要探索设计空间，权衡各种选择并做出设计决策。此外，该项目培养非技术技能，如团队建设和管理，分担工作量，决策，演示和技术报告撰写。
In this paper we describe a lab session-based hardware/software (HW/SW) codesign course for implementing embedded systems. The goals of the course are to teach the fundamental concepts of embedded system design, develop hands-on HW/SW codesign skills, and to show that there are many possible ways to explore the design space. The reason behind choosing HW/SW codesign approach is that it brings the best of the two worlds: the flexibility of SW and the power/energy/computation efficiency of HW. As an example project, students codesign the well-known RSA public-key cryptosystem in the Xilinx Zybo boards that contain a Xilinx 7-series FPGA coupled with an embedded ARM processing unit. Students are required to explore the design space, weigh the various alternatives and take design decisions. Besides, the project cultivates non-technical skills such as team building and management, sharing of work-load, decision making, presentation and technical report writing.
