This course is designed for Junior and Senior of undergraduate students. It will acquaint students with the working principles of embedded systems and their components, and embedded system programming with C and Assembly Language. The outcomes of the course will let students know how to integrate embedded hardware, software, and operating systems to meet the functional requirements of embedded applications.1. The course will start with an introduction to embedded systems, processors, input/output systems, hardware/software tools, operating systems. Laboratories are designed to guide students to be familiar with programming and debugging tools for embedded systems. Term projects topics includes techniques of building fast prototypes of embedded applications, basic development methodology, integration of software and hardware, and power and performance analysis.Outline· History and overview of embedded systems · Hardware components, including microprocessor, memory, I/O devices and their interconnects Lab: Getting started with embedded platform: 8051 and ARM · Software tools, including the uses of compiler, assembler, linker, and mixed assembly and high-level programming Lab: Basic Assembly programming (8051, ARM)· Embedded computing platform, including more detailed discussions on devices and device interfacing; I/O structures and programming Lab: Interfacing and I/O programming (ARM)· Integration of hardware and software functionality Lab: In-Circuit Emulation for embedded platform debugging (ARM)· Basic real-time operating system concepts Lab: Building Linux image for embedded systems (ARM) Lab: Building root file systems for embedded systems (ARM)· Embedded networking Lab: Application of embedded systems in networking (ARM)· Term Projects: Application design and integration of embedded systems, Analyses of power and performance, …2.
