Embedded Development System

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module deals with the design and implementation of embedded systems, involving a processor, software (or firmware) and other hardware. Topics include architectures and interfacing of typical processors, programming in C and assembly language to interact with hardware in real time, design and verification of systems involving a mix of hardware and software. The module will have an emphasis on problem-based learning. Design assignments will require significant time during the trimester, and will involve working in a team and collaborating with others. Assessment of these assignments will be largely based on written reports, supplemented by interview where necessary.
