ENCO12001  Embedded Processor Systems Design

This is a project-based-course which develops a wide range of knowledge and skills related to the commercial design of embedded microprocessor systems. Specifically, students are expected to:

• understand the hardware and software restrictions and trade offs imposed in low cost microprocessor design;
• be able to write structured assembly level and C++ programs for embedded microprocessor applications;
• be able to use in circuit emulators and other methods to verify the performance of an embedded processor system;
• be able to produce CAD schematic drawings and printed circuit board, (PCB) artwork; understand the documentation requirements for an electronic design;
• have improved self management, teamwork and communications skills.
