A typical B.Tech Embedded Systems syllabus covers the fundamentals of embedded systems, including hardware and software components, real-time operating systems, and various design methodologies. It also delves into the specifics of embedded processors, memory, and communication interfaces. Students learn about embedded firmware development, task scheduling, and device drivers. The course often includes practical experience with real-time operating systems, simulation tools, and project-based learning.
1. Introduction to Embedded Systems:
Definition and characteristics of embedded systems, Comparison with general-purpose computing systems, Major application areas and examples, Embedded system models and the development cycle, and Design space exploration.
2. Embedded Hardware:
Core of the embedded system: processors (general-purpose and domain-specific), ASICs, PLDs, and COTS.
Memory types (ROM, RAM) and their selection for embedded systems.
Sensors and actuators.
Communication interfaces (onboard and external).
3. Embedded Software:
Embedded firmware design approaches.
Programming in C and assembly language.
Real-time operating systems (RTOS) basics.
Task management, scheduling, and synchronization.
