Module Information

Module Title Embedded Processors and Microcontrollers

Module Code ESD2526

1. MODULE SUMMARY

Aims and Summary

This module is intended to prepare students to implement embedded system applications using embedded

processors and microcontrollers. Students will be taught the underlying theoretical concepts, design,

development and implementation of embedded systems. The module discusses prominent standard features

of typical embedded processors and microcontrollers, microcontroller software and hardware interfacing,

embedded processor interfacing and programming with C & assembly language. Students will be trained

on the use of the IDE for the embedded processor/microcontroller for embedded system development.
