Main Project (40% of
the Course Marks)
Details and Selection
The main Project is to be envisaged and completed by
the students. Details of some of the projects are
provided here. Students are encouraged to
propose project topics in the embedded systems
area and get them approved from the instructor.
You may choose a project topic from any one of the
following areas. The project topics listed below are
not limited to the following areas.
1. Case study and review of an
interesting embedded system.
2. Case study of Real-time
Scheduling Techniques for a typical Real-time
Application.
3. Development of an Embedded
Application of your choice by employing an SoPC (such
as an FPGA having a soft or hard processor).
4. Developing a Real-time/Embedded
Multitasking Embedded Application of your choice using
an ARM Cortex Processor.
5. Embedded System design for one of
the following applications:
• Smart Home, Home or Work Reminder
Systems, etc.
•
Multimedia Applications including
MP3, MPEG and JPEG 2000.
•
RFID based Embedded Systems.
6.
Hardware-Software Codesign of a specific embedded
system for a particular application including signal
and image processing, image compression, multimedia,
or any other interesting application such as
crypto-currency mining.
7. A multitasking embedded
application of your choice using RTX.
8. Case study of a Fault-tolerant
Embedded System of your choice. (such as involving
aerospace, biomedical, critical-control
applications).
9. Modeling Embedded System of your
choice or one of the following using SystemC:
• JPEG 2000, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MP3
encoder or decoder
•
RFID based embedded systems
10. Any other
approved project on Hardware-software Codesign, and
System on Chip (SoC) areas involving:
• Embedded System Co-Specification and
Using SystemC for Embedded System Modeling.
