As a current university professor, I have incorporated 30 years of system semiconductor expertise.
This is a practical curriculum directly designed and verified by a professor of semiconductor engineering, whose career spans from a system semiconductor researcher at Samsung Electronics' DS Division to Director of UK and German subsidiaries and Head of the System LSI Marketing & Sales Group.
Level up your engineering capabilities by going beyond theory to actual hardware implementation.
There are realms that scattered, fragmentary knowledge alone can never reach. Students will not merely be users of pre-built black-box IPs; they will design NPUs and CPUs, integrate peripherals, and ultimately evolve into system architect providers capable of building their own AI SoCs.
This is not a lecture just for watching. We guarantee 100% hardware implementation and Bit-True verification.
It goes beyond theory or simple simulations. Experience the thrill of seeing the instructor's KCI-indexed academic research and custom-designed circuits operate flawlessly on actual FPGA hardware. All source code, including the self-developed RISC-V CPU, is transparently disclosed, allowing anyone to freely use, reproduce, and verify it using only an entry-level FPGA (Arty S7-25) and free tools (Vivado).
Seamless Full-stack Roadmap: From Basics to mini LLM Accelerators
Every lecture is not an isolated fragment, but part of a journey toward completing a single, massive system.
Step 1: AI Theory and Image Processing Fundamentals (Including Machine Learning)
Step 2: AI Accelerator (NPU) Design and Verification (Including Machine Learning)
Step 3: RISC-V CPU Design and System Integration
Step 4: Advanced AI SoC Implementation and Expansion to mini LLM Acceleration Platform (Continuous content updates)
Objective Verification Metrics
All design deliverables of this course have undergone rigorous verification against global standards and by the academic community.
RISC-V Architecture Verification: Self-developed RISC-V CPU passed the international foundation's official Architectural Compliance Test (ACT) and source code released (GitHub)
Academic Authority: 4 single-author academic papers (KCI Grade A prestigious indexed journal IJIBC)
Global Recognition: Published two global Amazon technical books (Reached #3 Bestseller)
Actual operation verified: Core IPs such as RV32I CPU, NPU, Vision System, GPS, Transformer, and AURA-Edge SoC are fully operational in the Arty S7 environment.
Take on the challenge. By the time you finish the process of uploading code to the board and verifying the results yourself, you will have leveled up into a hardware engineer with a completely different perspective.
