Description
This lecture will give an overview of embedded systems, both with regard to hardware-design and software development. We will cover different bus- and networking technologies, emerging new SW-development standards for the automotive industry like AUTOSAR. In addition, we will deal with techniques to ensure the energy efficiency of battery operated devices and have a look into positioning technologies. The course will also be enriched with some hands-on experience on FPGA programming in VHDL.The aim of the course is to give students an overview of different aspect which are involved in the design process of an embedded system. This will help to judge the feasibility of hardware designs, to predict their costs and schedule work plans. Prior knowledge in computer engineering is not required.
