CS 516 Embedded Systems Design and Implementation

This course provides practical hands-on experience with the various components and principles behind embedded system. The course will cover the embedded processor architectures, hardware, and software, along with advanced topics such as real-time processing, resource constraints, and memory management. The course will include design, programming, and applications of Atmel/Microchip and ARM-based processor systems. Topics will include embedded architectures, high-end embedded processors, interacting with other embedded devices, real-time principles, code optimization and programming with limited resources, embedded software principles, the ARM processor programmer model, the ARM instruction set, the thumb instruction set, the ARM AMBA bus, the ARM memory system, efficient C programming techniques, and embedded operating systems such as embedded Linux, NuttX, and FreeRTOS, as well as the application of these to cloud computing, edge computing, and the Internet of Things.
