Fundamentals of SystemC Self-Paced
PLEASE NOTE: This is a ONLINE SELF-PACED training.
Fundamentals of SystemC prepares you for the practical use of SystemC for transaction-level modelling. The class describes the core SystemC v2.2 class library and its application for system modelling, virtual platforms, and hardware implementation.
This self-paced training is only available via the Doulos Thinkific Learning Portal. Please contact your local Doulos team to discuss your training needs and how to access the course.
Select the drop-down blocks below to find out more.
A working knowledge of C++ and of object-oriented programming concepts is essential and basic knowledge of hardware design is recommended. Prior attendance of the Doulos Essential C++ class (or equivalent) is required. Delegates with C++ experience should check their knowledge against the SystemC C++ Pre-requisites available from Doulos before attending.
The course is suitable for electronic hardware, software or systems engineers, but in order to gain maximum benefit from this course, delegates should be active users of either a high-level software programming language (ideally C++) or a hardware description language (VHDL or Verilog®).
Please contact Doulos direct to discuss and assess your specific experience against the pre-requisites.
Doulos training materials are renowned for being the most comprehensive and user friendly available. Their style, content and coverage is unique in the EDA training world, and has made them sought after resources in their own right. Fees include
