ECE 373 Embedded Systems

Building on ECE 273 (Microcontrollers), this course focuses on real-time multitasking and RTOS and includes a design project to explore these ideas, and the course also looks at enabling techniques such as mixed C and assembly, control of linking, external memory, self-programming, and fail-safety. Students will: explain and apply real-time multitasking concepts; design and implement an embedded system; design recovery from exceptional conditions; incorporate into their work complex peripherals like PWM-capable timers.
