Development of an environment with FPGA for learning systems programming

摘要

This paper describes about the "MINATO" project that is the environment of supporting system software education and a practice environment using FPGA that is the part of the "MINATO". At present, it proceeds with the development of the various learning environments without method decided as learning of system programming. The "MINATO" presents the cooperation between the hardware and the software in system programming learning. Using FPGA in our practice environment makes a processor that a learner can design its specifications. The learning environment, that both of the hardware and the software can be changed from flexibly, is provided.
