CS4101: Introduction to Embedded Systems
(Fall 2014)
Announcements
Course Information
- Introduction:
This course introduces basic concepts of microcontrollers and embedded
systems. The course is designed around labs, using TI MSP430 LaunchPad and
Freescale Kinetis Tower to discuss concepts such as basic I/O, timing and
clocking, interupt handling, serial communication, embedded operating systems,
synchronization, etc.

- Labs:
There are 13 basic labs in this course.
Labs 1 to 8 are the practice labs of TI MSP430 LaunchPad,
while labs 9 to 13 are practice labs of Freescale Kinetis Tower System.
The last lab involves the connection of Freescale Kinetis Tower System
and TI MSP430 LaunchPad.
