After my yesterday's email, I was
asked to point out the respective online course for topics of each day. So here's the list of 5-day training with course links:
Follow them 100% and get back to me if you don't see a change in your VLSI learning and understanding. Will refund all money in 30-days of purchase. No questions asked
Day 1: SoC Planning (design - picoSoC by Clifford, which implements RISC-V IMC ISA)
- RISC-V and picoSoC overview [Theory]
- Overview about design components, like, SPI module, UART, SRAM, pad-frames, voltage domains [Theory]
- Assembling parts in verilog module like top level connections like pads, level
shifters, multiplexers and small testbench suite [Theory & Labs]
