Required (pre)knowledge: Basic programming skills (C, Java, JavaScript or alike) Contents: The course consists of two parts which are interwoven throughout the semester. The first part focuses on the basic components and operation principles of the microcontroller and embedded systems. We learn about low-level computer architecture (memory, registers, ALU), and the principles of connecting devices to the microcontroller. Some time is dedicated to the binary representation of data and basic Boolean mathematics. For efficient system development some advanced data structures are needed. We introduce the notation of buffer and different techniques of data storage (stack, linked list, doubly-linked list, binary tree). The basic principles of real-time systems are also discussed. The C language is used as the language in which the course examples are developed and tested, while the hardware platform used is developed on ARM7 based processor. Therefore, as a second part of the semester, we learn more or less all the basic C language features focusing on the parts that are C specific. This are data typing, parameter passing by value vs. parameter passing by reference (through pointers), pointers, and memory management features, to mention but a few. Selected references: o H.

Title: Programming Embedded Systems Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Tadej Tuma Assistant: Assist. Prof. Dr. Janez Puhan Aim of the course: This course is part of the elective module B in the 6. semester of the Bachelors degree curriculum. The other, complementary course of module B is Designing Embedded Systems. The aim of this course is to teach the basic principles of embedded system programming, while the complementary course is covering the respective hardware architecture. Required (pre)knowledge: Basic knowledge of digital structures. Lectures: In two-hour weekly lectures the following themes are covered:

Basic notions: Multitasking, real time execution, concurrent access to devices, synchronous data exchange.

The principle of time slicing and the consequences: Preemptive and non-preemptive context switching, performance assurance, assembly language level vs. C level, multi-stack structures, stochastic interrupts, response time analysis and scheduling.

Synchronization: Pipelined data structures, buffers, semaphores, atomic actions.

Laboratory work: There are two-hour weekly sessions of laboratory work, where the following is covered:

Introduction to a simple manual operating system for multitasking and realtime programming (group work).

Design and testing of peripheral interface drivers (group work). Programming of a selected embedded system (individual project).

Examination: The students have to complete and present their individual laboratory projects. Then they apply for an oral examination covering the lecture topics. Since this course is part of module B it is recommended (but not necessary) to take both exams together. Selected references:
