Embedded Systems

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Embedded Systems
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2012
Module code: E1610
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P211-0170
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
4V (4 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
5
Semester: 6
Mandatory course: yes
Language of instruction:
German
Assessment:
Written exam

[updated 14.07.2016]
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E1610 (P211-0170) Electrical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2012 , semester 6, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
Knowledge: Construction of components of embedded systems, system-on-chip, peculiarities when programming embedded systems (cross compiler, programming, debugging; interfaces GPIO, ADC, DAC, SPI, I2C, USART; interrupts and exceptions)
 
Skills: Handling development tools for embedded systems, working with the documentation of a modern RISC-microcontroller and configuring of GPIOs, UASRT-interfaces and timers, creating of interrupt programs, error search in embedded systems.
 
Competence: programming of microcontroller-based embedded systems with limited resources under real time conditions without operating system. Implementing basic hardware abstractions and the realization of basic controllers by using finite-state machines. Recognition of possible race-conditions.
