Embedded
Computer Systems
Course: Computer Engineering (Cpr E) 588, section
XC (CD-ROM), section XL (streaming media)
Design, implementation, and testing of embedded computer
systems. Co-design of hardware and software. Concurrency,
real-time control, hardware/software interfaces, and error
handling.
Learn about system-level design of embedded systems comprised
of both hardware and software; investigate topics ranging
from system modeling to hardware-software implementation;
explore analysis and optimization processes in support of
algorithmic and architectural design decisions; and gain
design experience with case studies using contemporary high-level
methods and tools.
The course emphasizes a top-down design methodology driven
by bottom-up constraints.
