Embedded System

4 of 8

Synopsis

  • Develops a working knowledge of the characteristics and applications of devices used in embedded systems such as microcontrollers. Emphasis is put on the architecture, instruction sets, and assemblers. Representative data handling problems and interfacing are studied and tested in the laboratory using state-of-the-art hardware.

​

  • Pre-requisites: Programming, Digital Logic Design, Microprocessor/Microcontroller.

Course Outcomes

  1. Convert numbers from one numbering systems to another.
  2. List and describe the fundamental parts of a microcontroller and explain the difference between a microcontroller and a microprocessor.
  3. Explain the relationship between hardware and software and how they work together to accomplish a task.
  4. Employ knowledge of system architecture, digital logic elements, and processor schematics to develop instruction level solutions to problems.
  5. Express instruction level programs using assembly language.
  6. Use hardware peripherals such as timers, PWM, A/D, serial, IO ports, and interrupts to develop robust and full-featured microcontroller programs.
  7. Utilize an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and a development board to assist in project design, troubleshooting, and debugging.
  8. Develop and analyze flow charts and hardware schematics to deduce or describe the operation and functions of an embedded system.
  9. Synthesize an embedded system and program from a real-life problem statement.
