This course is a study of Embedded Computing System (a.k.a Embedded System) Design, which is the design of microprocessor-based, application specific systems. A popular contemporary high-level language is used for the majority of the software development, with some use of assembly language as well. An integrated development environment (IDE) popular in industry, along with a compatible hardware evaluation board, are utilized for practical experience. The core of the course material is organized using a data access hierarchy perspective. Other embedded computing topics covered include hardware/software co-design and debugging, real-time systems, digital/analog interfacing, low power modes, and firmware. Prerequisites: None. (F)
