CSE370 Computing Information
Computers
We will be using the Intel PCs located in Sieg 232. Please do not eat or
drink in the laboratory, and respect both the equipment and your fellow
students.
These machines were donated to the department by Intel
Corporation of Hillsboro, OR.
Writing and Drawing Tools
All the computers in Sieg232 have Microsoft Office and other application
software installed. Unless your handwriting is exceedingly legible, please
use software tools to write up your assignments. We will not spend time
trying to decipher poor writing.
The MSOffice software was donated to the department by Microsoft
Corporation of Redmond, WA.
Logic Design Tools
We will be using Foundation from Xilinx
Corporation. Xilinx has some information on the software here.
Foundation is an industry-strength tool that Xilinx donated to the CSE
department. It contains *many* features-- we will primarily be using the
schematic entry tool, simulator, and Verilog support. We use Foundation
for CSE467 and CSE477, so learning it in CSE370 will be valuable for future
classes. With Foundation and a word processor you can draw and simulate
your designs and incorporate the schematic and simulator output into your
assignment write-ups.
Version 3.1 of Foundation is installed in Sieg 232 and Sieg 329. There
is a FAQ page located here.
Information on the student version of Foundation is located here.
There is a Verilog reference manual located here
and a tutorial located here.
