Working with FPGA and MIPS-based Systems

This repository contains my hands-on work and practical sessions (TPs) focusing on FPGA programming and MIPS-based systems. Using the ALTERA Cyclone V DE-1 SoC board, I explore various embedded system applications.

These sessions include tasks such as assembly and C programming for embedded systems, system design using Intel Monitor Program, and working with NIOS II processors. The repository will be continuously updated with new sessions and implementations.

ALTERA Cyclone V DE-1 SoC Board

The DE-1 SoC board is a Development and Education board that integrates an ALTERA SoC FPGA with an embedded ARM processor. It is included as an education platform in the ALTERA University Program. Here is the board block diagram:
