Course Syllabus (1)
 To focus in
 the integration of hardware modules to construct embedded systems,
 the programming models and characteristics of various input/out
interfaces.
 Use either assembly language or any high-level languages
 Course Goals:
 Develop an understanding for using a CPU core as a component in
system-level design.
 Ability to integrate CPU core with various interface units in embedded
controllers.
 Skills for programming and debugging I/O operations to manage
peripherals for embedded applications.
 Pre-requisites:
 Assembly language, microprocessor organization, and experience of
C programming language
