Course Objectives
After completing the course the student will know
* how to build small embedded systems
* program in C on a 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 )

Each exercise whould be documented and eletronically submitted on the web address https://xprog28.cs.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
Maemo / Meego	Your favorite gadget for N800 (N900) - maemo platform / QT mobility project
TI watch	Lear how to to use a small wrist computer / sensors
Beagle bord	Embedded solution
