Embedded Systems Course Syllabus

This document outlines an embedded systems course taught over 5 modules. The modules cover introduction to embedded systems and hardware/software components, communication buses and devices, device drivers and interrupts, interprocess communication and synchronization, and real-time operating systems. The course aims to help students distinguish characteristics of embedded systems, identify vulnerabilities, design modules using RTOS, and explain concepts like RPC, threads and tasks. Assessment involves a 3 hour exam with 10 questions, 5 of which must be fully answered with 1 from each module.
