1 Embedded Systems, Design and Applications Mr. OOI CHEE PUN

2 What is an embedded system? An embedded system is a computer system that cannot be programmed by the user because it is pre-programmed for a specific task and embedded within the equipment which it serves. Examples: Dishwashers, stoves, videos, remote controls, toys, toasters, cell phones, microwave ovens, automobiles (electric windows, ignitions, airbags, brakes, suspensions …)

4 Course Basics 1/3 Objectives The objective of this unit is meant to be a hands-on type to enhance the practical skills of students by developing and debugging an embedded systems hardware and software/firmware. Also provide students with an opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of the design methodology of the embedded systems and familiarity with hardware and software development and debugging tools. Learning Outcomes On completion of this unit, students should be able to: Understand the concepts, issues, challenges and process related to the system level design of an embedded system. Design and develop an embedded system from scratch, starting from processor selection, electronics components, data sheets and progressing through construction of hardware and implementation of firmware. Perform troubleshooting, testing, measuring and analysing the developed embedded systems board.
