(2nd semester)
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Purpose
Students shall understand the fundamental principles of
microprocessor based systems and be able to construct and program a
specific microprocessor based system so as to handle a small sized
practical problem.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Be able to build and program a microprocessor based system
- Must have knowledge of the methodology used for constructing
connected digital systems, including an introduction to fundamental
digital circuits, their use and limitations
- Must have insight of basic terminology for the architecture of
microprocessors
Skills
- Be able to synthesize a microprocessor based system based on a
specific technical problem, with the possibility of simple
interaction between a user and surroundings
- Be able to modularize the total system into hardware and
software with well-defined interfaces
- Be able to determine the architecture with regard to hardware
and software and communication between subsystems
- Must be able to design a microprocessor program which can runs
on its own for controlling the digital/analog hardware
- Must be able to elaborate a number of possibilities for
analysis, program development, programming and testing for the
entire microprocessor based system
- Be able to synthesize, document and bring the entire system
(hardware and software) to working condition
Competences
- Be able to analyse and specify the design requirement through
problem domain analysis
- Be able to design a microprocessor based system based on the
design specifications
- Be able to implement and test the developed system with the
purpose of verifying the hypothesis, as well as draw conclusions
based on the achieved result.
