Introduction to Embedded Systems

Catalog description

Principles of designing application-specific computer systems that interact with the physical world. Covers memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, analog interfacing, microprocessors, reconfigurable hardware, sensors, and actuators. Complex hardware/software systems design and implementation. Substantial student-defined team design project. Students will solve real-world design problems using small, resource-constrained computing platforms. Laboratory emphasis is placed on interfacing embedded processors with common sensors and devices while developing the skills needed to use embedded processors in systems design.
