Goals
After finishing the course the student shall be able to
- describe the special requirements that are imposed on embedded systems
- describe the key properties of microprocessor and digital signal processor
- sketch a design of an embedded system around a microprocessor or DSP
- explain how microprocessor, memory, peripheral components and buses interact in an embedded system
- evaluate how architectural and implementation decisions influence performance and power dissipation
- produce efficient code for embedded systems
- point out the role of the compiler in the embedded system design process
- summarize the basic properties of a real-time operating system
- estimate if additional hardware can accelerate a system
Content
Embedded systems design process
- Properties of microprocessor and DSP as design components
- Embedded computing platform: memory hierarchy, busses and peripheral devices
- Design constraints: low power, speed, memory size, real-time behavior
- Design analysis and optimization of embedded software
- Introduction to real-time operating systems
- Acceleration of a system by means of additional hardware
Eligibility
The course requires
- good knowledge of an imperative programming language like C/C++ or Java
- good knowledge of computer hardware corresponding to the course IS1200 Computer Hardware Engineering
