Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
Having passed the course, the student should be able to
- describe the fundamental structure of the platform for embedded computer systems and explain cooperation between the software and the hardware components
- analyse how architecture and implementation decisions influence the performance in an embedded system
- use basic models and analytical methods for embedded realtime systems
- develop software for simple embedded real time systems
in order to obtain a good understanding of the design process for embedded systems and basic methods and technologies for the design of embedded systems.
