This elective course of the last year gathers the knowledge acquired in the previous subjects of the electronics area and, together with the different programming knowledge acquired in the different subjects, provides the student with techniques and knowledge to apply this programming knowledge to SoC systems.

- Introduction to Embedded Microprocessors for System-on-Chip (SoC): ARM and RISC-V

- Embedded microprocessor programming

- Implementation of SoC ICs in FPGAs

- Implementation of SoC ICs in Ultra-Deep Sub-Micron (UDSM) technology

The objective of this course is to provide the student with the skills and knowledge to be able to use the advanced tools necessary to convert a pre-existing design into an integrated circuit.

This course will also deal with the programming of embedded microprocessors that will then be taken to the integrated circuit.

Development of guided albs and a final project.
