This course equips experienced engineers and architects with the knowledge and hands-on skills needed to integrate AI agents into modern System-on-Chip (SoC) design workflows. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of large language model (LLM) capabilities and limitations, multi-agent orchestration frameworks, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) techniques as they apply to hardware and embedded software development.
The course begins by grounding attendees in AI agent fundamentals, then progressively builds toward advanced applications such as AI assisted RTL generation, automated design verification, constraint management, and firmware co-development. Each day combines lecture modules with hands-on labs using industry standard EDA tools from Altera and leading AI agent frameworks, ensuring that skills learned in class can be directly applied in production design environments.
