Embedded Systems — DU B. Sc. (Hons) Electronics Previous Year Question Papers

Embedded Systems (GE) Credits: Theory-03 Theory Lectures:45 Course Learning Objectives The course is designed to make students familiar with principles, features, classification, architectures, and design issues involved in embedded system. The selection criteria for choosing microcontroller based on system requirement in embedded systems is also discussed. Interrupts and interfacing concepts are included. A balance between hardware and software exposure is maintained. Course Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, students will be able to: CO1 CO2 CO3 CO4 Learn the fundamental concepts related to embedded systems and architecture of microcontrollers. Familiarize with Instruction Set and assembly language. Understand the interrupts and interfacing concepts for common applications like general I/O, Timer and Counter. Demonstrate knowledge of the development tools for a microcontroller and write assembly language code according to specifications and task.
