Abstract-This paper describes our experiences using a system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) approach to support the development of design projects for undergraduate students in our electrical and computer engineering curriculum. A commercial field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based SOPC development board with a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) processor core is used to support a wide variety of student design projects. A top-down rapid prototyping approach with commercial FPGA computer-aided design (CAD) tools, a C compiler targeted for the RISC soft processor core, and a large FPGA with memory is used and reused to support a wide variety of student projects.
