Introduction to FPGA Design for Embedded Systems
FPGA Design for Embedded Systems,
This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5360, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. Programmable Logic has become more and more common as a core technology used to build electronic systems. By integrating soft-core or hardcore processors, these devices have become complete systems on a chip, steadily displacing general purpose processors and ASICs. In particular, high performance systems are now almost always implemented with FPGAs. This course will give you the foundation for FPGA design in Embedded Systems along with practical design skills. You will learn what an FPGA is and how this technology was developed, how to select the best FPGA architecture for a given application, how to use state of the art software tools for FPGA development, and solve critical digital design problems using FPGAs. You use FPGA development tools to complete several example designs, including a custom processor. If you are thinking of a career in Electronics Design or an engineer looking at a career change, this is a great course to enhance your career opportunities. Hardware Requirements: You must have access to computer resources to run the development tools, a PC running either Windows 7, 8, or 10 or a recent Linux OS which must be RHEL 6.5 or CentOS Linux 6.5 or later. Either Linux OS could be run as a virtual machine under Windows 8 or 10. The tools do not run on Apple Mac computers. Whatever the OS, the computer must have at least 8 GB of RAM. Most new laptops will have this, or it may be possible to upgrade the memory.

altera quartus prime
Learned almost every aspects/options of Altera Quartus Prime software suite.Got practical insight of Pipelining of complex digital circuits and effects of Clock/Signal buffering using Altera Max10 FPGA device Not a course to learn a great deal about FPGA's.
After the course many of the Altera Quartus Prime feature will be really familiar and easy to use.

familiar with
excellent course to get familiar with basic of Quartus prime design tool A great course Altamente recomendable, más allá del idioma nativo que uno tenga es muy intuitiva la propuesta.
Best FPGA course awesome course, hope there would more courses similar to it and if possible it would be great if you provide a step-by-step VHDL programming course The instructor was really good,only if we can be taught some programming bit also it would have been better Good course, solid introduction, I feel familiar with the IDE, and FPGAs now, where is the second course?
It also makes you familiar with the use of Quartus Prime Software.

vhdl or
(You don't learn to make VHDL or Verilog code in this course)Critic : the voice isn't always synced with the videothere a a few error in the quiz questionSome part could be introduced in a better way (time analysing definition could use some animation)Was intended to be a 4 course series, I'm not sure if they will continues I fell in love with this course, I hope the other 3 courses will be released soon!
Gives you a quick run down on designing FPGA systems without going into the details of VHDL or schematics.

very useful
Excellent course Very concise and informative The course was challenging and exciting and very useful, the way they trained us is awesome There should be more examples of how to practically code and run FPGA using VHDL Pretty challenging course, but very helpful if you are parallel starting with real design or have to work with some ready design.
It is very useful Very good course for vlsi students This course is very helpful for FPGA learners, engineers, computer scientists, and hardware geeks.
