| Course code : | EPRODE2-U1 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 10 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Revised : | 22/12 2011 | Written : | 22/12 2011 |
| Placement : | 2. semester | Hours per week : | 8 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English if English students are present |
| Objective : | To provide the student with a foundation in microprocessor systems, enabling the student to understand the functionality of a microprocessor and to use microprocessors in the design of electronic systems – typically embedded systems. The student will acquire a basic knowledge of the structure and functioning of a microcontroller, of microprocessor interfacing to peripheral devices, and of microprocessor programming using applicable programming languages such as C. Learning outcomes: The student should be able to • Describe the main components of a microprocessor system (CPU, memory, I/O) and their interconnection and interaction. • Describe the structure and functioning of a microprocessor – including the structure of instructions, types of instructions, execution of instructions, and the use of registers in connection with data manipulation and addressing. • Describe basic principles in the interaction between a microprocessor and peripheral devices, including data buses, I/O ports and serial communication protocols. • Describe the structure of memory, memory technology and their location in the memory hierarchy. • Describe and show how a compiler transforms a source program into a running machine code program. • Design and implement microprocessor programs in appropriate programming languages – such as C or C++. • Design and implement peripheral devices and connecting them to a microcontroller. • Use digital circuits to implement electronic devices, which can be used in a microprocessor system and controlled by a microprocessor program. • Apply the interrupt system as a mechanism for synchronization of hardware and software events. • Perform tests of hardware- as well as software components in a microprocessor system. |

| Principal Content : | • Microprocessor hardware, architecture, and function. • Principles for designing and connecting peripheral devices. • Principles for communicating with peripheral devices via parallel and serial protocols. • Interrupts and their use within program control. • Programming languages for embedded systems (typically C/C++) • Tools for program development and debugging. |
||
| Teaching method : | Classroom teaching with exercises and a group project | ||
| Required prequisites : | DIG1 and PROG1 | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | - | ||
| Relations : | DIGEP2 is normally taken simultaneously with software engineering PROGP2. The projects in DIGEP2 and PROGP2 are preferably connected together and delivered as a single report. | ||
| Type of examination : | Look under remarks | ||
| External examiner : | External | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | Oral examination based on the project report. Admission for the exam requires that a report has been delivered before the specified deadline. If DIGEP2 is taken simultaneously with PROGP2 then the report should normally cover both projects. The group makes a presentation after which each student is asked questions individually about the project as well as theory questions. 7 step scale Evaluation: 2: A presentation meeting only the minimum requirements for acceptance 7: A fair presentation that demonstrates some command of the relevant material but containing some major weaknesses. 12: An excellent presentation that demonstrates a high level of command of all aspects of the relevant material and containing no or only few weaknesses |
