CE 2800 - Embedded Systems I3 lecture hours 3 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course presents a typical embedded microcontroller and assembly language programming as an efficient and direct means of programmatically controlling an embedded system. Topics covered include the addressing modes, register file, and instruction set of a microcontroller; subsystems such as timers and analog to digital conversion; and interrupts. Software control of hardware is stressed. In the laboratory, students design software to demonstrate proficiency in these areas. (prereq: SE 1011 or experience with a procedural programming language) (coreq: CE 1900 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• recognize the role of assembly language programming
• state the programmer’s model of a typical embedded processor
• break down the instruction set of a typical embedded processor, recognizing load/store, arithmetic, conditional branch, and unconditional branch instructions
• construct assembly language programs by using and reusing subroutines
• apply memory addressing and various addressing modes
• understand the concept and usage of interrupts
• given proper documentation, be able to configure and use common microcontroller subsystems such as timers, uart, ADC
Prerequisites by Topic
• Programming fundamentals including functions with arguments
• Good program design techniques
Course Topics
• Introduction to microcomputer/microcontroller structure from a programmer’s perspective
