Course Description

  • In this class, students will learn about the basic concepts of embedded systems, including Cortex-M4 processor, memory system, and operating system.
    To improve understanding, students will use an embedded board to create several programs.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of the C/C++ programming language is required.

Explain of evaluation system

  1. About 45% of students: A (Including A+/A/A-)
  2. About 45% of students: B (Including B+/B/B-)
  3. About 10% of students: C and below

* If your total score does not exceed 30%, you will get an "F" regardless of the percentage above
* If you are absent more than three times, you will get an "F"
* If you are late twice, you are considered absent once
