Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the students should be able to:
- Give example of embedded systems and their applications and describe the special requirements that are set to develop such systems.
- Be able to use modern integrated development environments for micro-controller/processor programming and their functionality for testing and troubleshooting.
- Explain the structure of control circuits and built-in processors
- Develop micro-controller programs for mechatronic applications including the use of I/O and external units.
- Apply knowledge in programming, and to a lesser extent in digital technology and automatic control, in the design and realization of control software on distributed embedded systems.
- Describe, explain and use software platforms, specific real-time operating systems (RTOS) and and network protocols
