Y0! A cool Saturday morning in Chennai ! I got picked up at home by Mr.Maran (Placement Officer, SSNCE) for the Embedded GNU/Linux and VLSI CAD tools workshop we were gonna conduct today. We moved on to the college after picking Shakthi. After reaching college at around 9:00 AM we met up with the CSE Head Of Dept Dr. Chitra, and quite a few other CSE Staff. The workshop began with a introduction to FLOSS philosophy by SK. After which I took a session on Icarus Verilog and other GNU EDA tools that can be used by the students. After demonstrating some small examples, SK demonstrated the ALLIANCE VHDL CAD Tool. Next came the surprise package. The one that dazzled the students. Yes! It was a demo of AIGLX on my laptop. Every body were shell shocked or rather surprised We moved on to meet the principal and then lunch. Back from good lunch at the college Guest dining room, I introduced the students to basics of Embedded Systems followed by some probable projects that one can do. SK gave a demo with his Little Chips board of how exactly “Embedded Systems Development” takes place. SK also presented a Embedded GNU/Labs How to and then we had some discussion with the students. At around 3:45 PM we left the college.
