Course Description
-
This course explores the fundamentals and advanced techniques of embedded systems using the Jetson Nano platform. It is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in embedded systems while delving into advanced C programming and the CUDA language for leveraging the power of NVIDIA GPUs. * The primary syllabus used for this course is from the website rather than the traditional school system. Consequently, any significant updates or changes will be made exclusively to the web syllabus. * Due to the use of the new board in this course, the syllabus may be updated throughout the semester. * Some lecture materials may contain Korean; however, the primary language for this course is English. Most materials and exams will be predominantly provided in English. * Due to limited seats and available embedded boards, the number of students for this course is strictly capped. This count will not change, even if you send an email. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SEATS FOR THIS COURSE.
Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of the C/C++ programming language is required.
- Strongly recommended only for students who have completed the Digital Logic Design and Computer Architecture course to take this class.

Evaluation System
Evaluation: Relative + Absolute
| Midterm Exam | Final Exam | Quizzes | Presentations | Projects | Assignment | Participation | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35% | 35% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 30% | 0% | 0% |
- About 40% of students: A (Including A+/A/A-)
- About 40% of students: B (Including B+/B/B-)
- About 20% 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.
- The course is specifically designed for sophomore and junior students; hence, absences related to job positions or interviews cannot be accepted as excuses.
- Complete your assignments and exams independently. Any instances of plagiarism, whether from fellow students or online sources, will result in an automatic 'F' in this course, regardless of your current standing.
Required Materials
The lecture material will be made available on Cyberampus.
