| I0 | New digital buses |
| Objectives | |||
| Packet switching benefits compared to shared busses are highlighted. |
|||
| The course details the operation of new busses and the consequences on system architecture. |
|||
| This workshop has been designed for project managers who intend to understand the operation of new buses without fully describing their protocol. |
|||
| Many references to exerciser providers and component manufacturers are done in order to explain not only the features of new buses but also their ecosystem. |
|||
| Ac6-training offers trainings covering in depth buses such as PCI-X, PCI-Express, RapidIO, IEEE1394a/b, USB2.0, HyperTransport, VME VXS. | |||
| A more detailed course description is available on request at info@ac6-training.com | |||
| Prerequisites | |||
| Experience of a digital bus like PCI or VME is recommanded. | |||
