STE6302 Embedded Systems - 5 stp


The course is administrated by

Institutt for elektroteknologi

Type of course

The course can be taken as a single subject

Course overlap

STE-3602 Embedded Systems 5 stp

Course contents

The main goal of this course is to give a general introduction to embedded system design which can be implemented using FPGA. In this course, students will learn to program the processors embedded in electronic devices. In the lab FPGA boards will be used as target platforms. At the end of this course, students will be able to use electronic design automation tools and will have implemented a set of complete embedded systems on the FPGA boards.

Objective of the course

This course is oriented hardware and interfaces. It presents in details the different parts of an embedded system based on FPGA and/or  micro-controllers. The embedded systems contains both hardware and software components and therefore a hardware/software co-design will be also mentioned. The course will give a basic knowledge on specification methods, design representations as well as related design methods. Special emphasis will be put on interface synthesis and low-power design methods.

Learning Outcomes:

- Review and evaluate hardware and software platforms for Embedded Systems.

- Demonstrate an understanding of microprocessor design.

- Demonstrate an understanding of FPGA implementation using VHDL.

- Program simple applications in VHDL and run these in FPGAs.

- Understanding how to build embedded systems for various applications, especially for satellite applications.

Assessment

Mandatory tasks

Homeworks (3 units) and Labs (about 7-8 units). Students must attend at least 70% Lab works (at least 5 Lab works) at the laboratory UiT in Narvik. The reports of Homeworks and Labworks must be submitted before notified deadlines.

Evaluation 3 h written exam and home- and lab portfolio assesment. Grading will be done by using A-F grading scale, where F is a fail. A re-sit exam will be arranged for this course


Date for examination

Written examination 17.12.2019;Homework and Labs hand in date 21.12.2019

The date for the exam can be changed. The final date will be announced at your faculty early in May and early in November.
