Lectures

This page contains links to materials that can be used to teach an introductory class on embedded systems. These materials include lecture slides, and lab manual. PowerPoint lectures written by Professors Ramesh Yerraballi, Andreas Gerstlauer, Bill Bard, Nina Telang, Vijay Janapa Reddi, and Jonathan Valvano. For Volume 1, there are 14 lectures, corresponding to approximately one PowerPoint file per week. For each of the lectures there is a corresponding worksheet that can be used as a follow up to gauge students' understanding of that week's lecture. The worksheets contain a list of questions each student should be able to answer after that lecture.

Volume 1 - Lab Manual Download doc file

This lab manual is similar to the one we use here at the University of Texas to teach our introduction to embedded systems lab. Students are graded by designing, testing, and then showing their system to a teaching assistant or instructor. The first five labs are in assembly, and the last five labs are in C. Feel free to use this lab manual for educational purposes. You can download, edit, and repost as long as you leave the reference to the professors who generated the material and the link to the MSP432 book.

Volume 2 - Lab Manual Download docx file

This lab manual is similar to the one we use here at the University of Texas to teach our advanced embedded systems lab. Students are graded by designing, testing, and then showing their system to a teaching assistant or instructor. Labs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10 constitute component level microcontroller interfacing. Labs 6, 7, 8, and 11 comprise a systems level design of an embedded system. The labs were ordered in this way to allow two weeks after Lab 8 and before Lab 11 to have the PCBs to be manufactured. Feel free to use this lab manual for educational purposes. You can download, edit, and repost as long as you leave the reference to the professors who generated the material and the link to the MSP432 book.

Teaching Videos for the TM4C123

Professors Yerraballi and Valvano produced about 170 YouTube videos for the edX UT.6.02x online class. The videos are grouped into 15 YouTube playlists that correspond in number with the MOOC labs. The following is a list of links to the YouTube playlists:

Interactive web pages for the TM4C123

As part of the edX online class, we made some interactive web pages to illustrate fundamental concepts
