Duration : 40 Hours
Department : Electronics and Communication Engineering
Description :
This program is designed prepare aspirants for a career as an Embedded Systems professional. In
this course, the fundamentals of embedded system hardware and firmware design will be explored.
Issues such as embedded processor selection, hardware/firmware partitioning, circuit design, circuit
layout, circuit debugging, development tools, firmware architecture, firmware design, and firmware
debugging will be discussed. The architecture and instruction set of the microcontroller will be
discussed, and a wire wrapped microcontroller board will be built and debugged by each student.
