Prerequisites

Basic course in Computer Hardware and Architecture
Basic/Good programming skill.

Intended learning outcomes

After the course the student should be able to:

Describe the characteristics of embedded systems, embedded systems design methods and basic developement trade-offs.
Describe the embedded systems hardware-software interface.
Use important parts of the embedded systems tool-chain.
From an abstract description design and implement a small but typical embedded time-ordered application for one emulated target machine.

Course content

Preliminary contents:

Embedded Programming: Preprocessing. Assembly and Linking. Basic Compilation Techniques. Coding issues and optimization. Programming Input and Output. Bit-manipulation. Interrupts, Exceptions, and Traps. Memory layout.
Embedded Computing: Characteristics of Embedded Computing Applications. The Embedded Systems Design Process.
The Embedded Computing Platform: Architectures. Bus Protocols. Memory Devices. I/O Devices. Timers and Counters. Component interfacing.
Embedded Application Design: Basic system models. State-machines. Time-ordered applications. Concurrent tasks and communication. Scheduling.

Teaching and working methods

The course consists of a series of lectures, lessons, and laboratory
work. The examination consist of a set of theory questions and an
implementation part where the student solve an embedded systems
programming problem.
