Learning outcomes of the course unit

The graduate of the course will learn:

* Basics of microprocessor technology

* Structure of microprocessor systems

* Writing code in C and ASM

* Debug application for Arduino

* Design of circuit connections and operating software for embedded devices

Prerequisites

The course is designed for students with knowledge of the basics of electronic components, passive and semiconductor circuits. The advantage is a basic knowledge of the C programming language.

Co-requisites
