This course builds on introductory work done in EEET2256 Introduction to Embedded Systems by closely examining the architecture and organisation, and the design and operations of microprocessors. You would be well advised to take this course if you are considering a future that would involve specification, design or low-level coding of embedded systems. If you are considering majoring in computer systems engineering, this course leads on to further advanced studies such as EEET2166 Real Time Systems Engineering, EEET2162 Advanced Digital Design 1, and EEET2370 Wireless Sensor Networks and the Internet of Things, as well as courses in various application areas of computer engineering where embedded systems and real time performance are required.
