Content

Introduction: Computer structure, embedded systems. Digital fundamentals: Transistor, logic gate, number system, basic logic functions, programmable logic. Computer hardware: Microprocessors and microcontrollers with a focus on ARM, memory technology, timer, exception processing, serial and parallel communication. Software issues: Low level (assembly) programming, high level programming based on C/C++, real-time systems, user interface.

Learning outcome

Knowledge: Know how a computer in general and an embedded system (ES) is built. Know the fundamental program structure and the concept of real-time behaviour.

Skills: Be able to realize and configure interfaces between parallel and serial ports in a microcontroller and external components. Be able to develop software structure and code of a simple ES based on a product specification. Be able to realize a simple PC-based user interface for an ES.

General competence: Fundamental understanding of structure, properties and potential of computer-based systems.
