Course: Embedded Systems
Position in the timetable: F4, optional
Hours per week: 2 plus 1 in the laboratory
Examination: Report or test
Aim: This course is an introduction in embedded systems design using microcontrollers. The system approach requires a unified view of software and hardware, seeing them not as completely different domains, but rather as two implementation options. The course focuses on design principles supported by examples with the 83C552 microcontrollers. Since the need for knowledge of interfacing is increasing, the material describes serial interfaces such as I2C bus and CAN bus.
