I personally feel that the value of this lecture is more than 1 million won. I am sure that the content taught here is a must-take lecture for anyone aiming to become a digital circuit design engineer. The lecture content is very difficult, so it is very, very difficult to understand at first, but if you watch the lecture 3 or 4 times and analyze the provided code for several hours, you will feel that not only your RTL coding skills but also your understanding of semiconductor architecture is gradually increasing. If you want to see the architecture of the chip that is actually released as a product from a different perspective than you have seen so far, I highly recommend listening to this. (DMA was so hard to understand at first that I felt like I only looked at the code for dozens of hours..)

I was able to write a course review while listening to the lecture, so I came to write while listening. I work on the RF physical layer, and I happened to come across Xilinx's RFSoC. It has an embedded high-speed ADC that doesn't require PCB routing, PL, and CPU all in one chip... I couldn't help but use it. However, the AXI4-Stream interface between the ADC and PL and the AXI4 bus between the PL and PS were the entry barriers. Since I can barely do Verilog and don't have much experience in semiconductors, I didn't know where to learn, so I studied the concepts while going around blogs, but I didn't feel like I had enough to write code. I was halfway giving up, thinking I had no choice but to head to the bare ground by reading the official documentation, but didn't you think that Mr. Mabbin gave me exactly what I was looking for in Season 2? Therefore, I will bow a hundred times to Mr. Mabbin. Thank you very much.

Hello, I am an electronic engineering student who has been listening to Verilog HDL season 1 and is about to graduate. As sunchoi mentioned below, I think this lecture is worth 1 million won or more. (I think it is a value that undergraduate students cannot judge...) I often hear that AMBA AXI is very important at school, but I think it is limited to cover it within the given class time. However, I was able to grow by designing I/F through the lecture and seeing the process of uploading it to an actual FPGA. I think that a lecture costing more than 300,000 won would be a burden to students. If you take the lecture, you will think that this lecture is the minimum amount of money you need to prepare for the lecture. I highly recommend it. If undergraduate students take this lecture, I personally think that it would be better to take the two subjects of Verilog grammar and microprocessor. I always take care of my health and I look forward to the next lecture. Thank you.

Why Self-Study Design Courses Are Differentiated ๐Ÿ“Œ

Don't learn half-heartedly!
We deliver the know-how of industry professionals as is.

I am a working professional in design. I created this course after personally designing everything myself. This is different from courses that only cover superficial knowledge with pretentious know-it-all attitudes.

Don't learn half-heartedly. We will definitely deliver the knowledge you truly need for real design engineering practice.

Because every minute and second of your time is precious,
all classes are directly edited by Seolgyedokhak.

Does the video runtime feel shorter compared to other courses? We don't include unnecessary time in our lectures such as tool runtime, break time during explanations, or awkward jokes.

You can learn with a much more substantial and comprehensive pace compared to other courses when mastering all the theory and practical code I provide.


All the content you need to study
so you can practice sufficiently.

High-quality Verilog HDL practice code designed directly by industry professionals

  • AXI4-Lite / AXI4-Stream / AXI4-Standard
  • It covers all the theory and practice created directly by Matbi.
  • FPGA synthesis is possible.

AXI VIP environment that can only be used in the field

  • Experience the powerful AXI VIP environment firsthand.
  • We use the verified free simulation tool Vivado Xsim.
  • I confirmed it works by uploading it to the FPGA.
  • The project files that were used are also provided.

If you become a non-memory design engineer in Korea ๐Ÿ’ช

Korea is a powerhouse in memory semiconductors. It is not a powerhouse in non-memory semiconductors. Therefore, the government and companies are making significant investments, and there are several design companies as well. Try searching for the "Verilog HDL" keyword on job sites. Many companies around the world are looking for semiconductor design engineers. Is there a company you want to work for? Search for that company's salary.

Non-memory design related companies correspond to the top 1% of average salaries among domestic companies. It's a profession where you need to study as much as you earn, and it's not an easy path, but it's work with solid prospects waiting ahead.


See you in the field ๐Ÿ–

Thank you sincerely for reading this far.
I am confident that you will all become excellent design engineers.

The choice is yours.
I look forward to meeting you all in the field.
Thank you. From Matbi.

    For the theoretical part, the content can be found in the AMBA spec or Xilinx Reference manual, but when it comes to actual implementation, having reference implementations to refer to and knowing whether unknown features exist (especially in protoinst or VIP utilization) makes a huge difference, and this was very practically helpful.

    • semisgdh
      Instructor

      hjKim, thank you for leaving such a thoughtful course review. As you mentioned, there are parts that are difficult to grasp with just the reference manual, and I'm glad that encountering the implementations through hands-on practice was helpful. I feel especially rewarded that you found even the detailed features like protoinst and VIP utilization meaningful. I encourage you to connect what you've learned to your actual projects as well!

    2025/06/15/Sun 08:04 Thank you for creating good lectures. I was always curious about how a CPU works, but after listening to all four lectures you created, I learned how it operates. I also understood Verilog much better and learned about AXI4. If you upload lectures again next time, I will listen to them right away. Thank you.

    • semisgdh
      Instructor

      Wow... I am truly grateful and touched that you listened to all 4 lectures! To those who were curious about how the CPU actually works within a system, I feel a great sense of reward knowing it was helpful and that the planning intention of this lecture was well conveyed. Since you've understood everything up to Verilog and AXI4, you've likely developed the core skills to immediately apply them in real-world situations :) For the next lecture as well, I will prepare with even better content and meet you again. Thank you once again!
