Textbook in PDF format

This textbook arose out of my experiences teaching computer engineering and elec trical engineering courses at Montana State University (MSU). Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are digital devices that have been around since the 1980s and are accessible to students, allowing them to create their own custom hardware without the prohibitive expense of creating a custom ASIC or digital chip. FPGAs started as tiny devices where they functioned as “glue” logic, but they have grown to be among the largest digital devices today. As FPGAs grew larger, they started absorbing all sorts of logic functions, including a complete ARM based computer system, i.e., a System-on-Chip (SoC). SoC FPGAs are ideal devices for teachingcomputer engineering since in the same chip you can create custom hardware in the FPGA fabric and develop software that runs on the ARM CPUs. This allows students to gain a system level understanding of how computers work. They gain this system level knowledge by first creating their own custom hardware in the FPGA fabric and then controlling their hardware by writing a Linux device driver and associated application software. It has been quite satisfying seeing the excitement in student’s faces when they finally understand how hardware and software interact.
