Content
Embedded devices are an inseparable part of modern computing systems. They monitor and control dedicated functionality of the systems. Examples of these systems include Anti-lock Brake Systems (ABS) and Airbags in cars to various Internet-of-things as Smart Home applications. This unit will focus on device level programming on System on Chip (SoC) development boards covering topics such as hardware interfaces and serial communications (GPIO, I2C, UART, SPI), real-time systems development, PCB design, Open Systems Interconnection Model (OSI), and Real Time Operating Systems. Students will build and prototype embedded devices and systems to capture data, sense the environment, and trigger actions using a range of hardware devices and for a variety of real-world projects.
Hurdle requirement
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit, students must meet certain milestones as part of the portfolio.
