Course Overview: Advanced Embedded System Design Course
Our course is crafted to cover essential and advanced topics across the embedded systems stack, ensuring that you gain not only a solid theoretical foundation but also the practical skills required to excel. Here’s an in-depth look at the curriculum:
Fundamentals of Digital Electronics
Digital electronics is foundational for anyone in embedded systems, as it underpins how data is processed and controlled within embedded hardware. This module covers:
Core Concepts: Begin with binary and hexadecimal number systems and progress to fundamental logic gates and truth tables.
Combinational and Sequential Logic: Master combinational logic circuits, multiplexers, flip-flops, counters, and memory elements.
Design Techniques: Develop digital circuits that meet embedded constraints for power, space, and cost, which are essential for efficient hardware design.
With this foundation, students are well-prepared to tackle more advanced topics in embedded programming and interface.
C Programming for Embedded Systems
C programming is integral to embedded systems due to its low-level capabilities, allowing precise control over hardware. We focus our C programming module on embedded applications, covering:
Data Structures: Learn about data structures that are efficient in memory-constrained environments, including linked lists, stacks, queues etc.
Memory Management: Understand dynamic and static memory allocation, pointer arithmetic, and bitwise operations for hardware control.
Embedded-Specific Programming: Master interrupt handling, real-time constraints, and I/O operations.
Project-Based Learning: You’ll implement algorithms and applications that interact with hardware, such as device drivers and peripheral management routines.
By the end of this module, participants will be able to write optimized, reliable code that can be deployed in real-world embedded systems.
Embedded Peripheral Interface
Effective peripheral interfacing is at the core of embedded systems, allowing systems to interact with external devices like sensors and actuators. This module covers:
Peripheral Basics: Understand the role of peripherals in embedded systems, including general-purpose I/O, timers, and ADC/DAC converters.
Communication Protocols: Learn about the common protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, and USB which are essential for device-to-device communication.
RISC-V & ARM: RISC-V offers an open-source, modular ISA for flexibility and customization, while ARM provides a proprietary, power-efficient ISA with a robust ecosystem ideal for embedded and mobile applications.
Real-Time Considerations: Discover how to design systems with real-time response requirements, including latency minimization and handling asynchronous events.
Hands-On Labs: Interface microcontrollers with various sensors and actuators, understanding how to control and monitor these devices through code.
Through labs and real-world applications, students develop the confidence to integrate peripherals effectively and troubleshoot communication issues in embedded systems.
Embedded Linux
As embedded devices become more complex, many systems are now running on embedded Linux, which brings the power of an operating system to small devices. This module focuses on:
Linux Basics: Learn essential Linux concepts, including file systems, process management.
Cross-Compiling and Build Systems: Understand the process of cross-compiling for embedded targets and configure build systems like make and CMake.
Driver Development: Explore Driver development, and interfacing with hardware through kernel modules.
System Optimization: Learn techniques to optimize Linux for embedded applications, including managing power and system resources.
Participants will set up and configure Linux for embedded environments, gaining experience that is highly sought after in advanced embedded applications.
Practical, Project-Based Learning
To ensure our students gain a real-world understanding, we emphasize practical, hands-on projects throughout the course. Projects include:
Building and Configuring Embedded Applications: Write and deploy applications that interact with the hardware in real time.
Sensor-Based Projects: Develop applications that utilize sensor data for decision-making, exploring the fundamentals of IoT.
Driver Development: Work with custom drivers, gaining insight into how Linux interacts with hardware in embedded settings.
This project-based approach ensures that our students not only learn theoretical concepts but also know how to apply them to real-world challenges, making them job-ready.
