Abstract :
This paper presents an educational platform for digital system practices with a conventional PCI bus interface, based on reconfigurable hardware especially useful for the designing of hardware accelerators and systems with a PCI bus interface. The aim of the platform is to provide students with a single tool to develop rapid prototypes that covers all aspects involved in the study of digital systems. The platform consists of hardware and software components that allow to easily develop prototypes of general electronic systems, simple systems with a conventional PCI bus interface, hardware accelerators, and buses. The platform is focused on reconfigurable computing practices for university degrees in Electronics Industrial Engineering and Computer Engineering of the new framework of European Higher Education Area (EHEA).
