COE521 Embedded Systems

[3–0, 3 cr.]

This course provides an introduction to the design of embedded systems including both their hardware and software. Topics ranging from simple circuit design to computer architecture will be discussed. Different types of processors will be presented along with interfacing to memories, I/O devices, and other processors. The 68HC12 or PIC microcontrollers will be used as an example processor for assignments and the course project.

Prerequisite: COE323 Microprocessors.
