Course Overview and Goals
Increasing integration of communications, multimedia and processing and relentless digitization of data (including even RF data) continues to expand the scope and complexity of embedded systems. To appreciate these advances, and to productively contribute to future advances of these systems, a critical appreciation of the underlying technology underpinning is a must. The goal of this course is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the technologies behind the embedded systems, particularly, those using computing elements (processor, DSP, or ASPs). The students develop an appreciation of the technology capabilities and limitations of the hardware, software components for building embedded systems, and methods to evaluate design tradeoffs between different technology choices
Class Discussion
The course discussion board can be found at Piazza. That discussion board will be the main way of providing help with homework and projects in this class and I will use it from time to time to send out updates and clarifications on assignments. All students enrolled in the course should have received an email to give them access to the class board. If you did not receive an email, please contact the TA to be added.
