This graduate-level course introduces fundamental principles and practices in embedded systems design and builds upon these principles to study the interaction of computer systems (CPU, memory) and interfacing with those systems. The course covers microcontroller/microprocessor architecture, real-time operating systems (RTOS), hardware/software co-design, system-on-chip (SoC) architectures, and interfacing with peripherals. Prerequisite: three credits of introductory programming and a discrete math course.
