Programming Embedded Systems 2014

NOTE!
6.5.2014 FINAL PRESENTATION OF PROJECTS
at 9.00 ESLAB, B3056, ICT HOUSE

Course Objectives
After completing the course the student will know
* how to build (program...) small embedded systems
* program in C on low level
* program structures for small embedded systems
* interfacing to sensors, actuators
* learn some typical hardware / software:
- Microchip PIC, Embedded Linux, some mobile OS
* start up hardware, booting
* use error detection methods
* how to take limited resources into consideration.
( * module architecture in Linux. - if time )
* basic uP Interfacing bus technology: Serial (RS-232, RS-485), CAN

Project work

GRADING/EVALUATION/EXAMS
The course is graded according to 2 options:

A. Passed / failed. no exam, but all exercises and final project performed. A learning journal is required !
B. Graded 0-5, requires a exam (additional to all exercises and final project)

In case B, either of the 2 following exams should be attended:

Exam 1:
Exam 2:

Notes for students for UTU:
Please read the following : https://abacus.abo.fi/ro.nsf/W/joo

Learning diary
During the course, you should keep a learning diary. The learning diary should include what was done in the course, i.e.
*lectures (main points / what did I learn? / what was new? / did I agree?)
*exercises (the lab reports from the labs made)
*final project (report)
*feedback

EXERCISES

The following two groups were assigned for the exercises:

Wednesday 8-12
Friday 12-16 (15)

Exercises will start Wednesday 15.1.2014

Each exercise whould be documented and eletronically submitted on the web address https://abacus.abo.fi/ro.nsf .
Exercises are done in the ESLab on 3rd floor (B3035).
Exercises will be performed mainly on your own in a small group, but each exercise will be started up by a short introduction and there will be a lecturer (Åke / Jerker) present in the lab.

Project
Do a small scale project in groups of 2-4 persons. You can yourself choose the topic, but it has to be accepted by the lecturer. The environments provided by the lab: (but you can also suggest your own environment).
The projects are presented (in a seminar, orally)
A. Before the project start: A short introduction to the project
B. After the project (the results)

	Example of projects
Modtronix / Microchip	Internet based home surveillance Internet radio
Airstation	Temperature display
Dreambox	Own software module, displaying temperature or weather

TI watch	Lear how to to use a small wrist computer / sensors
Raspberry Pi	The sky is the limit....
TivaC development platform	Embedded solution
Beagle bord	Embedded solution

Equipment for projects:
There are some new equipment: presence sensor, IR transmitter/receiver attachable to SBC65EC, 3-button version of daughtercard.
