 You run the EDA experiments on your laptop or PC. We provide a virtual machine for VirtualBox (Windows) or UTM (MacOS) which contains the EDA software for our course. You run the EDA experiments on your laptop or PC.

 +
 +How to obtain the virtual machines for VirtualBox and UTM and how to setup the EDA software is described in
 +
 +  * [[https://www.hs-augsburg.de/homes/beckmanf/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=ubuntu_virtual_cae_system|THA Virtual CAE System]]
 +
 +The software used in the course is
 +
 +  * Intel/Altera Quartus II for fpga synthesis
 +  * GHDL for VHDL simulation
 +  * Codium as editor
 +  * Yosys for standard cell synthesis
 +  * OpenROAD for Placement, CTS, Routing and Timing Analysis
 +  * KLayout for GDSII cell analysis
 +
 +and this is all included in the VM.
