AdministriviaIntroductions– Instructor (Office Hours) – Schedule – Students (Introductions)– Collaborate on Labs, not Class– Policies

ERAU ERNIE and Canvas– Assignment & Lab Management– Mercury Website

Course Information– Attendance Taken Regularly– Mercury Lecture Notes– Assignments Posted on CANVAS– Pre-Lab and Class Quizzes on

CANVAS

9 Lab Stations - Work in Pairs– Switch Partner after 2 labs together– Note partner on Lab submission cover

Embedded Systems– Specific Services– Purpose Built– Upgrade by OEM only– Mission Critical (some, not all)– Can be Real-Time (some, not all)

Hidden, but Necessary

Networked (sometimes) - IoT

Power, Size, Mass Constrained

Cost Constrained

Specialized Requirements

Rigorous Quality Assurance

Learning Objectives1. Hardware / Software Systems - Organization of Them

System Requirements, Constraints, QualitiesSystem Design Specification

2. Microprocessor Design MethodsInstruction Set ArchitecturesMicro Architecture (ALU, RISC, CISC, VLIW, CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA)EDA Tools, Embedded Tools, HDL fundamentalsPerformance

3. Embedded Platform DesignCPU ComplexI/OMemory HierachyInterrupts, DMAAPI and ABILow-rate InterfacesHigh-rate Interfaces

4. Resource View of Embedded Platforms

5. Hands-on Labs and Pre-Lab Demonstrations Sam Siewert 7

Microprocessor Systems - Lots of JargonTrue of Computing in General – New, Specialized, Evolving

More True Micro

Systems Jargon –HW, FW, SW

We will define as we go along

King 122 - Controls LabTexas Instruments TM4C123G– Dev Board (http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spmu357b/spmu357b.pdf)– Launch Pad - (http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spmu296/spmu296.pdf)

Work on Code at Home, Test in LabIAR Tools for Download - T:\CEC322\Software– SDK-DK-TM4C123G-2.1.4.178.exe - installs on C:/ti– EWARM - 7701– Kickstart License from IAR (Register Here)– Need Putty for UART Comm

Texas Instruments TM4C123G Dev Board (End of Life)– Launch Pad is great, but not for Lab– Work on Code with Simulator, Bring to the Lab!– We have 15, so plenty for 9 stations

AD2 - Digilent (9 in Lab, 1 for each Station)– Intro Video (https://youtu.be/TgQVBfNdJ2o)– Can purchase, but $279 - Buy
