material

the purpose of this repository is to illustrate material pertaining to the course embedded systems. An embedded system is an intelligent system with special-purpose computation capabilities, (e.g. smart appliance, cars, medical devices, etc.) The material will cover the hardware and software architecture of embedded systems, as how to program a microprocessor to interact with the physical world through sensors and actuators.

• introduction to embedded systems, defining embedded systems, differentiating embedded systems from general-purpose computers.
• embedded software echopsystem, introduction to tools and enviroments for developing embedded software (build toolchain, gnu make, ide, git)
• c programming refresher
• RV32 ISA, a brief introduction to RISC-V assembly language
• microprocessor's memory address space
• i/o how to interact with the physical world using sensors and actuators
• interrupt, difference between interrupt and polling, how to use them, and the implications of using them
• concurrency and threads, how to utilize the available parallelism in the hardware and develop concurrent embedded software
• scheduling and real-time scheduling concepts in linux
• cpu and memory architecture, how instructions get executed in the hardware and the micro-architecture of a basic RISC-V, single-cycle processor.
• introduction to c programming
• introduction to the embedded software development enviroment - sensor reading
• servo moto control - timers
• introduction to embedded linux - linux scheduler
• real time dnn inference
• self driving car
• microcontrollers and embedded processors for interacting with the physical enviroment using i/o devices
