Embedded Systems (Winter 2014) Course Outline CSE 3215 4.00 Winter 2014. Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Lassonde School
of Engineering, York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
Instructor: Ebrahim Ghafar-Zadeh , LAS 1012D, e-mail: egz@cse.yorku.ca, Office hours: W
8:30-9:30.
Teaching Assistants (TAs): Navid Mohaghegh navid@cse.yorku.ca
Office hours: M(1-3pm) at LAS 1004A.
Class and
Lab Locations: Lectures &Tutorials Classes meet at CB 120 and Lab Classes meet at LAS 1004A
Course overview and Outcomes:
Unlike a general-purpose
computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system is a special-purpose
system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it
controls. The embedded system design consists of hardware, software, analog
microelectronics, sensors and actuators which are combined for a specific
application ranging from communications, to transportation, avionic and to
medical instrumentation. Students will gain in-depth technical competence in
the various areas including the design of hardware/software for embedded
systems, the design of analog interfacing system along with the selection of
appropriate sensors and actuators.
Prerequisites:
Students should have a good
understanding of digital and analog electronics and computer organization. You
should also be familiar with assembly programming (C programming will be
helpful).

The lecture class meets TW
16:00-17:30 EXCEPT the lectures (T5 to T4) meets Fridays 13:30-14:30 instead of
Tuesdays 16:00-17:30. The students are recommended to visit http://gcc-hcs12.com/tutorials.php prior to
attend T1 -T4. We also recommend the students to read the presentations of
T5-T7 before the class.

Prior to
starting the lab, the preparatory work must be completed by students and
approved by TA. At the end of the lab session, the students should
demonstrate their lab to the TA and electronically submit the final documentation
(Codes and designs). All work submitted
must be the student's own work. In the Labs 1-4 students use Dragon 12 and in
the Lab 5-8 students learn how to design with FPGA using DE2.
