Aim:
After the course the student should be able to:
- Describe the characteristics of embedded systems, embedded systems design methods and basic developement trade-offs.
- Describe the embedded systems hardware-software interface.
- Use important parts of the embedded systems tool-chain.
- From an abstract description design and implement a small but typical embedded time-ordered application for one emulated target machine.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic course in Computer Hardware and Architecture
Basic/Good programming skill.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of a series of lectures, lessons, and laboratory
work. The examination consist of a set of theory questions and an
implementation part where the student solve an embedded systems
programming problem.
