MIPSfpga One Day Workshops in Russia: ITMO University

The Imagination University Programme is pleased to host a series of one-day workshops specifically for teachers, based on the new “MIPSfpga” core.

 

MIPSfpga is the RTL source code of the MIPS microAptiv for implementation on an FPGA. It is a member of the same family found in many embedded devices, including the popular PIC32MZ microcontroller from Microchip and Samsung’s new Artik1.

 

This workshop will show you how to use this core as part of a Computer Architecture course, which will pave the way for your students to use it in their projects, in effect creating their own SoC designs.

 

With its long heritage and excellent documentation MIPS is the preferred choice of RISC architecture for many teachers around the world. But in the past, to demonstrate key concepts, teachers had to settle for creating partial “MIPS-like” cores or using unofficial copies of dubious heritage. Not now! MIPSfpga is the real “industrial” RTL, non-obfuscated, and available freely for academic use.

 

These workshops are part of a global programme of events to enable teachers to harness this wonderful technology. You can be among the first to get hands-on with MIPSfpga.

 

Registration is free.
