Volume 2 Learning Materials
This page contains links to materials that can be used to teach a junior-level lab class on embedded systems. These materials include lecture slides, and lab manual. PowerPoint lectures written by Professors Bill Bard, and Jonathan Valvano. Fall 2014 had 26 lectures, corresponding to approximately two PowerPoint files per week. Fall 2015 has approximately three PowerPoint files per week.

Lab Manual
There is a lab manual available for use with this book. These lab assignments are ones we use here at the University of Texas to teach our junior level to embedded systems lab. At the end of each chapter there are suggestions for lab assignments. Click to download all labs for the LM3S1968. The following list maps the eleven labs to the corresponding book chapters:
