The TMO Tool-Kit and the
revised TMOSL manual are available to the students in this class from
another Web page.
Up to 25 people will be accommodated in this
class.
A limited number of students who want to take both
this course and ECE145 (Senior Design Course) simultaneously under the
joint supervision of Prof. Kane Kim and Prof. Pai Chou will be accommodated.
ECE145 grades will of course be assigned by Prof. Chou. ECE 198
has its own lab assignments.
In ECE 145, each team of 3 students will engage in
a design project involving some hardware engineering, interfacing the
hardware over a serial comm cable (or something similar) to a Palm
Pilot, and writing some software running on the Palm Pilot. The students
who take both ECE 145 and ECE 198 will simultaneously have an option
(not mandatory) of replacing the Palm Pilot with an iPaq pocket PC
connected to a desktop PC (which has a serial comm connection to the
hardware to be built by each team in ECE 145) in the design
project for ECE 145. Students exercising this option will
learn programming techniques and acquire programming tools for use on
iPaq and desktop PC from ECE 198.
