Objectives:
Upon completion of this course the student shall be familiarized with the application of both single chip microcontrollers, Systems On a Chip (SoC) and single board, small form factor computers that can be embedded into systems as control elements. Concepts of interfacing with other embedded systems and devices will be stresses along with the application and use of embedded system tool chains.

Description: The use of single-board computer systems as the embedded processing elements for consumer and industrial products. Storage hierarchies, rotating and non-rotating storage devices. Parallel and serial interfacing standards. Architecture and application of small form factor, single board computers used to solve consumer and industrial problems. Application and use of small computer operating systems. This course has a directed laboratory in which students will get hands-on experience with interfacing and the application of small form factor devices including embedded web servers, single-board computer systems and mixed signal programmable systems on chip.

Grading:

Course Policies :

1. Steflik's Office Hours : TBA
2. TA's Office Hours: TBA
3. If you are going to miss a class or Lab I need to know ahead of time (prior to the class or session) if you are to be entitled to a make-up for the Test, Quiz or whatever that you miss.
4. If, as we go through the semester, anything that is going to affect your performance in the class I need to know about so that we may make arrangements so that you can successfully complete the course. If, for example, you get dumped by your boy/girl friend, don't just get depressed and stop coming to class; contact me and we'll make arrangements.
5. Projects will be due on the assigned date. Late projects will be graded down one letter grade for each class date late. All projects must be handed in prior to the last class.
6. All work handed in for grading is to be your best individual work; it is OK to use study groups and classmates as resources. However, since you, as an individual, will be receiving the grade, the work used to evaluate your progress must be done by you alone. Code that is too similar to be a coincidence will be considered in violation of the school's academic honesty policy (plagerism) and will be dealt with severely.
