Computer Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Memory-Mapped Peripheral Testbench

This Computer Engineering final year project investigates verifying register behaviour of a fictional embedded peripheral, linking hardware behaviour and software assumptions through an explicitly bounded prototype or simulation.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic makes verifying register behaviour of a fictional embedded peripheral a testable computer-engineering problem with visible interfaces and failure cases. Measuring register correctness, test coverage and race-condition detection helps a student compare design alternatives and explain how resource constraints affect the proposed implementation.

How do the selected hardware or embedded-software choices affect register correctness, test coverage and race-condition detection when verifying register behaviour of a fictional embedded peripheral?

Choose an available development board or simulator, agree the supported interface and workload, and narrow verifying register behaviour of a fictional embedded peripheral with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the interfaces, operating assumptions and expected behaviour for verifying register behaviour of a fictional embedded peripheral.
  2. 02Define a small register map, implement a simulated device and test reset values, reserved bits and concurrent status changes.
  3. 03Measure register correctness, test coverage and race-condition detection and document failures, resource limits and reproducibility.

A suggested research approach

Define a small register map, implement a simulated device and test reset values, reserved bits and concurrent status changes. Keep all tests on owned, simulated or approved low-voltage equipment. Record hardware and tool versions, compare output with an independent reference, and evaluate register correctness, test coverage and race-condition detection using normal, boundary and interrupted-operation cases.

What you will need

  • HDL or software device model
  • Register specification
  • Automated bus testbench

Keep your project scope clear

The testbench validates only the specified model and not arbitrary physical peripherals. Project writing does not supply working firmware or manufactured hardware.
