Course Content: (Only main topics & subtopics) Introduction to embedded systems Embedded systems and their applications, characteristics and metrics: dependability (availability, reliability, safety, security); efficiency (energy, cost, resource utilization, size/weight, latency/throughput), event-driven architecture and state machines, embedded systems classifications and controller platform types, peripheral devices. Microcontrollers Features and applications of microcontrollers, architecture, instructions and addressing modes, memory organization of microcontrollers (program memory, data memory, EEPROM, banked and linear memory architectures), programming process and bootup, assembly and C language in programming microcontrollers, debugging, general purpose I/O ports and pins, I/O pin configuration (input, strong drive, weak pullup/pulldown, open-drain, tri-state), using parallel I/O for peripheral interfacing (keypads, LCDs, etc.). Interrupts Interrupt system (implementation and usage), interrupt vectors and service routines, priority and nesting, interrupts vs. polling, data buffering. Timing and waveform generation Timer/counter device operation, timing accuracy, waveform generation, pulse-width-modulation, PWM applications Data acquisition and control Digital vs analog signals, analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), ADC and DAC characteristics (sampling rate, reference voltage, conversion time, precision, range, encoding method), ADC and DAC architectures, sensors and sensing physical qualities, actuators and control of physical quantity Serial communication Parallel vs serial I/O, half duplex and full duplex communication, asynchronous and synchronous communication, single-ended and differential signaling, standard protocols and applications (SPI, I2C, UART, USART, RS232, RS485, USB, CAN), implementation details of a selection of representative communication protocols. Mobile and networked embedded systems Networked embedded systems, topologies, data and control flow, wired and wireless connectivity, low-power operation techniques, data security and persistent storage (EEPROM, Flash, SD card, etc.) Industrial standards Platform/interface independent communication, MQTT, IEEE-488 and IVI standards, SCADA, OPC UA, PLCs, industrial ethernet, MODBUS, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, ASi, implementation details of selected industry standard protocols
