Notice of the lab session on April 9th

Today's lab session is at room A334 Wenström (next door of the usual lab room). Please help us spread the notice to all fellow students. Thank you!

Dear all, the final exam result has now been reported. A summary of that can be found through https://www.kth.se/social/page/grading-and-final-exam/. For those who received the grade FX, only Part II of the quiz (KS) needs to be supplemented. But you can still redo both parts in order to get a higher grade than E. For those who received the grade F, both parts need to be supplemented. Have a nice summer! /Chen

I have gotten a few questions about the practical examination. Unfortunately, I will not have sufficient time for me to both construct a real exam and an example exam. Sorry! Many of the expected skills are represented within the lab exercises so if you understand them well, you should get a good result on the practical exam anyway if you have a good understanding of the lab exercises.

The practical part of the exam will be an open-book exam, i.e. you may bring any material to the lab, including but not limited to lecture notes, reading assignments, previous labs, own study notes etc. We will also let you access the Internet during the work to check reference web pages. There will be a few minutes before the start of the exam to make sure everything really works and to let you setup the workstation properly.

The aim of the practical part of the exam will mainly be to check softer skills, e.g. debugging, error checking, design, modelling skills, handling the tools practically, using the RTOS, finding and correcting common types of bugs, testing, using the compiler and linker, etc, all things that you have already practiced in the lab exercises. The exam will be split in three or four partial smaller problems, each significantly smaller than a lab exercise. For each of them, it should be possible to do the required input in a few minutes, to let you focus on providing your input.

Good luck with the studies!

Dear all, the answer key to questions of Classroom Exercise 8 is now uploaded. For the final written miniexam (KS – KontrollSkrivning), the number of main questions for two hours will be restricted to 6. /Chen

The slides of Lecture 9 with hints for concept questions are online. I have also update the outline for removing a few typos or making the information more complete. Please also note the adoptation of domain specific reference models and lanaguages for architecture modeling should be a different approach than the usage of generic reference model (represented by the Parnas 4 variable model). /Chen

Hi all,

from the Vehicle Engineering section, I heard about the following event which should also be interesting to those of you not totally busy preparing for the exams:

T3CHNITE Open Hack med Tritech

All students with an interest for mechatronics are welcome. Do note that you need to register to attend!

Dear all, based on the feedback today I added an Execl sheet showing two calculation examples for the design task in Exercise 6 last week. /Chen  

A preliminary versio of the guide for Lab 11 - CAN communication available.

Quite  few of you have had issues with getting "larger" Rubus projects to run from the flash target. Now I have found the reason for those problems - the flash controller was not properly configured (for those of you remembering the cfmprotrom section in the linking lab, this was its purpose). To fix your old projects, you need to:

1. Replace the flash target LCF file in your project with an updated one: MCF5213_Rubus_flash.lcf
2. Add a new file, cfm.c,to your project, preferably in the project subfolder \Hal\Mcf5213\ and in the project group Hal-Target, since it is part of the HAL and target-specific.

I will provide an updated project template as soon as I've looked into a few other issues that I hope to fix in the same release.
