EE319K Introduction to Embedded Systems Syllabus Spring 2013 Spring 2013 Lab manual Email all professors and TAs Fall 2012 Design Competition
Undergraduate class: EE319K students discover how the computer interacts with its environment. Students have hands-on experiences of how an embedded system could be used to solve EE problems. The analog to digital converter (ADC) and digital to analog converter (DAC) are the chosen mechanism to bridge the CE and EE worlds. EE concepts include Ohms Law, LED voltage/current, resistance measurement, and stepper motor control. CE concepts include I/O device drivers, debugging, stacks, FIFO queues, local variables and interrupts. The hardware construction is performed on a breadboard and debugged using a multimeter. Software is developed in assembly and in C for a ARM Cortex-M TM4F123 microcontroller. New Prerequisites: EE306 or BME303 with a grade of at least C-.
