Embedded Systems 2
Internal Course Name: Electronic Project 2
This module focuses more on the low-level programming of embedded systems. Students will improve their knowledge about peripheral components and how to utilize a widely used programming toolchain. This is achieved by combining their knowledge from the last semester and shifting the focus from system programming to low-level hardware programming. Important topics like hierarchical programming (drivers and application libraries) as well as commonly used documentation styles (using Doxygen) are introduced. In the course of this module students are able to program embedded systems without the overhead of using system level programming but with the benefits and challenges of programming at low-level.
