Synopsis:

Embedded software course acquainted students with the specifics of software development for embedded systems. The course covers the areas from the basic techniques of programming in C language and code optimizations, through typical areas as the reliable software development, embedded operating systems, signal processing, up to sophisticated techniques combined with artificial intelligence.

Requirements:

Programming in C, embedded systems fundamentals.

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Specifics of software development for embedded systems.

2. Programming languages.

3. Code optimization with respect to power consumption, cost, and performance.

4. Reliable software development, debugging, and testing.

5. Interrupt, cooperative multitasking, RTOS.

6. Real-time operating systems.

7. Signal processing.

8. DSP applications programming.

9. Software for control applications.

10. Model-based design and HW/SW co-design.

11. Programming of industrial robots.

12. Artificial intelligence in embedded systems.

Syllabus of tutorials:

Course labs are project-oriented. The topics of student projects reflect the topics in the lectures. Projects also emphasize project management and students' presentation skills.

Study Objective:

The aim of the course is to provide students with a deeper insight into embedded systems. Mainly to show the integration of modern technologies and artificial intelligence in embedded systems and to provide students with a broad perspective with a view to applying advanced technologies in their final theses and technical practice after graduation.
