Further information
Basic skills in programming (any language) is mandatory
Basic skills in electronics is highly recommended
This is a laboratory course
The tools used in this course require a lot of hard disk space on your laptop (>10GB)
Support is given primarily for windows-environment, Linux can be used as well (limited support). No support for Mac users, tools must be run in virtual machine, which is very likely to cause big problems. Thus, Mac highly not recommended.
