  Welcome to EE8205 : Embedded Computer Systems website for Fall 2023

The course will cover real-time and embedded system concept and hardware-software co-design for embedded systems and system on programmable chips (SoPC).
The main topics to be covered in the course include the introduction of representative microprocessors suitable for embedded systems, micro-controllers, real-time operating systems, real-time scheduling techniques, concurrency, system on chip and hardware software co-design tools. ARM Cortex M3 micro-controller will be studied and its development environment will be used to investigate RTOS and real-time scheduling techniques. State of the art applications of embedded systems will also be introduced.
 Instructor:  Dr. Gul N. Khan
