Synopsis:

Students learn to design embedded systems and develop software for them. They get basic knowledge of the most common microcontrollers and embedded processors, their integrated peripheral circuits, programming methods, and applications. They get practical skills with development kits and tools.

Requirements:

Programming in C, digital circuit design, computer structure and architecture.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Introduction, embedded system definition, applications, design requirements.

2. Input/output ports, their configuration, interrupts, external bus.

3. Counters and timers, event processing circuits.

4. Real-time clock, pulse width modulation, watchdog, power-fail.

5. Serial interfaces, serial communication, serial buses.

6. A/D and D/A converters, temperature sensors.

Study Objective:

The aim of the course is to teach students embedded system design and programming. Microcontroller and embedded processor-based systems are considered. Emphasis is given on commonly used integrated peripherals, their programming and utilization in applications. Modern computer interfaces such as USB and BlueTooth are also included. Laboratories are oriented practically. In a collection of tasks, students get experience in software development in C and development tools.
