Embedded System Design course serves as a detailed introduction for students as well as a reference for practicing engineers and project managers. It is targeted at undergraduate courses in computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering, and control engineering.
Course Objectives:
- To provide an overview of Design Principles of Embedded System.
- To provide clear understanding about the role of firmware, operating systems in
correlation with hardware systems.
Course Outcomes:
- Expected to understand the selection procedure of Processors in the embedded domain.
- Design Procedure for Embedded Firmware.
- Expected to visualize the role of Real time Operating Systems in Embedded Systems.
- Expected to evaluate the Correlation between task synchronization and latency issues
