Project Ideas for Combining Embedded Systems and VLSI Design

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on seeking project ideas that integrate both embedded systems and VLSI design for educational purposes. The original poster expresses a desire to combine both domains in a single project but is uncertain about the feasibility. Participants suggest considering the use of FPGAs or CPLDs for prototyping VLSI circuits and inquire about the type of embedded applications of interest. Ideas proposed include creating a robot or an automated system that utilizes sensors and actuators. Ultimately, the conversation leans towards the possibility of developing a simpler home automation controller, akin to a basic version of a smart home device like the NEST, which could effectively merge both fields.

I need advice I am taking course on embedded system & vlsi design I have to make project but here is two domain (embedded system & vlsi design ) where I can make project on one domain VLSI or EMBEDDED. but for learning purpose I want to make project where I can use both things embedded system & vlsi design

can anyone suggest me project where I can use both things embedded system & vlsi design

Are you going to use an FPGA or CPLD to prototype your VLSI circuit? What kind of embedded application are you interested in prototyping?

I have burnt verilog code on FPGA and I have made some project using 8051 controller

What are your thoughts so far for your project? Embedded systems usually have sensors and/or actuators. Maybe you could make something using motors and sensors. Maybe like a robot or automated something...

ok That means I have to choose only one domain embedded or Vlsi I can't complete one project with both vlsi and embedded system
 
How about some sort of home controller? like a NEST only simpler or better or for managing other things?
