CS 06420 - Embedded Systems Programming

Credits: 3

Embedded software is used in almost every electronic device. This course deals with software issues that arise in embedded systems programming. Important concepts covered in this course will include device programming interfaces, device drivers, multi-tasking with real-time constraints, task synchronization, device testing and debugging, and embedded software development tools such as emulators and in-circuit debuggers. These concepts will be applied to design and implement embedded software for one or more modest-sized embedded systems.
