COURSE OUTLINE
COURSE NAME: Embedded System Fundamentals
COURSE CODE: CMPE1250
2024/2025
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Dedicated embedded controllers exist in vehicles, appliances, and electronic systems. A foundation in embedded controllers is essential for building and programming these systems. Students will learn to program an embedded controller and interface it to a variety of input and output devices.
Course Credits: 3.00
Pre-requisites: CMPE1100,CMPE1300, CMPE1550
LEARNING OUTCOMES

1 |
Program and debug a microcontroller using a high level language The following concepts, skills, and issues are used to support this Outcome: • Program a microcontroller using a tool chain, including an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) • Write structured modular code libraries • Manipulate number systems and codes to generate formatted outputs, including binary, BCD, hexadecimal, decimal, and ASCII • Perform. bitwise operations on data and device registers • Analyze data sheets to create code that uses device characteristics appropriately in meeting design specifications • Write programs to perform. accurate time interval generation with on-device modules |
|
2 |
Interface a microcontroller to devices connected over General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) The following concepts, skills, and issues are used to support this Outcome: • Configure discrete general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins to provide simple human-machine interfaces (switches and LEDs) • Employ GPIO to control external devices |
|
3 |
Interface a microcontroller to devices through a synthetic bus created over GPIO The following concepts, skills, and issues are used to support this Outcome: • Employ banks of GPIO pins as parallel data buses and control lines to interface devices, such as seven-segment displays and LCD displays • Apply information from device data sheets to develop reusable code libraries |
|
