Micro Processor Based Systems
2018/2019
Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module
Knowledge of electronics corresponding to analog Instrumentation (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.
