Course Summary
This course provides an introduction to Embedded Systems.
Through the use of simulation software and hardware interfaced to a physical embedded system, you will develop competence in microprocessor-based digital system design.
This course lays the foundation for later year Computer Systems Engineering subjects and is an essential prerequisite for Embedded System Design and Implementation (EEET2096).
Particular topics investigated will include:
- Introduction to Digital Hardware Technologies.
- Introduction to Computer Systems & Architectures.
- Introduction to Assembler-level firmware for Embedded Systems.
- Introduction to Interfacing Computer Systems to External Hardware.
- Use of C/C++ programming language to implement functionality in embedded hardware.
