CPE 4370 - Embedded System Design I

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): CPE 2350 and CPE 3330 (with a grade of “C” or better for all prerequisites)

Description: This class will explore the fundamentals of embedded system hardware and firmware design. The following issues will be discussed, such as embedded processor selection, hardware/firmware partitioning, number conversion, computer hardware structure, memory technology, logic circuits, development tools, firmware architecture, firmware design, and firmware debugging. An industry standard microcontroller will be studied, and its architecture and instruction set will be covered. The students will apply a microcontroller demo board for their designs. The programming will be implemented in Assembly and C languages.
