Computer Interfaces

Garant předmětu:

Jiří Novák

Lecturer:

Jiří Novák

Tutor:

Jan Sobotka

Supervisor:

Department of Measurement

Synopsis:

Students are acquainted with functional principles of computers and embedded systems communication interfaces and with a design of typical peripherals. Technologies like USB, PCI, and PCI Express, wired and wireless computer and sensor networks as well as industrial distributed systems like CAN and LIN are introduced. Project oriented laboratories will allow students to become familiar with implementation of communication hardware and software into the real devices, including their support in operating systems.

Requirements:

Basic knowledge of computer architectures, embedded systems and C programming language.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. High-speed parallel and serial interfaces, physical limits

2 - 4. PCI and PCI Express, functional principles, transaction optimization, QoS

5. Implementation of PCI and PCI Express peripherals

6. USB functional principles

7. USB embedded Master, USB on the go

8. Technical and economic parameters of implementation of I/O interfaces and peripherals

9. I/O device drivers for OS Windows and Linux

10. IEEE802.3, VLAN, auto-negotiation, PoE

11.-13. Industrial distributed technologies (EIA-485, EIA-232, CAN, LIN)

14. Reserve

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Introduction of laboratory projects, project selection

2. Introduction to development tool, first project

3. Individual project (USB, Ethernet, WiFi, ZigBee, ...)

4. Individual project

5. Individual project

6. Individual project

7. Individual project

8. Individual project presentation, partial evaluation

9. Individual project

10. Individual project

11. Individual project

12. Individual project

13. Individual project

14. Final project presentation, assesment

Study Objective:

The main goals are to prepare student to be able to design and integrate suitable communication interfaces within an embedded system design from both the hardware and software points of view.
