Learning Outcomes
The student will familiarize themselves with advanced embedded systems programming such as the use of the stack, memory management, code optimization. The student will learn to how to use the C programming language to implement algorithms. Further, the student will learn to understand the choice of the programming language and the importance of real-time embedded systems.
Student's Workload
135 h, of which 50 hours of scheduled contact teaching.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
Microcontroller Laboratory Exercises, Sensor and Control Technology, Design of Embedded Systems.
Contents
An overview of algorithms' implementation using laboratory exercises and different programming techniques. Learn the pros and cons of different implementation. Programming will focus on algorithmic-intensive applications, such as the use of the stack, timing and interrupt-driven systems management. Debugging and testing.
