Embedded Systems

Provide the knowledge to design and implement an embedded prototype system.
After an overview of the existing platforms on the market the bases of electricity/electronics will be provided, to master interfacing with the physical world. Next, embedded platforms software development approaches will be discussed.

Grasp the knowledge on: how to choose the embedded platform suitable for a purpose/project; how to design and implement the software to upload to MCU; limits and possibilities of interfacing with the external world; how to choose sensors and actuators for a specific purpose; how to read an electrical diagram; how to choose between communication protocols (sensors and actuators, network); how to manage embedded platforms with/without an operating system
