Design with Embedded Operating Systems

Catalog description

Design of microcontroller systems using embedded Linux. Student teams design and debug example solutions on a target microcontroller (for example, Raspberry Pi) during lab sessions. Emphasis will be on application and Linux programming skills, processor and microcontroller architecture with some discussion of hardware interfaces. Students create a final, end-of-semester project using the microcontroller platform and development techniques discussed during the semester. This is a culminating design experience (CDE) course. Students need to be comfortable with digital hardware design, embedded systems, C programming, and they need to be familiar with basic Linux concepts.
