Teaching Assistant / Lab Instructor: Kai He Course Description: A study of the technical aspects of embedded computer software systems, with emphasis on embedded real-time systems, programming techniques and development methodologies. This course will cover various aspects of the embedded systems in both hardware and software concepts and principles, microcontroller applications, and real-time operations system concepts throughout this course. Course Sequence Goals: Develop understanding of the technical aspects of embedded systems including Hardware and Software methodologies, Advanced C and Assembly programming techniques, and Embedded operating system concepts. At the end of this course, students should be able to do the following things: (1) Write C language programs for microcontrollers, (2) Design C programs for microcontroller systems, (3) Design an interface between a microcontroller and a peripheral device, (4) Test and debug microcontroller hardware and software systems, and (5) Document microcontroller system designs Prerequisite: ESET 349 with a grade of C or better; completion of ENGL 104, MATH 151, MATH 152, CHEM 107 and CHEM 117, and PHYS 218 with a grade of C or better; junior or senior classification in electronic systems engineering technology.

Hohl, 2nd Ed., 2014 D. A. Patterson, Computer Organization and Design MIPS Edition, 5th Ed., 2013, Exam Dates: There will be one mid-term exam and one final exam. While tentative dates are included in the syllabus, the actual dates will be announced in class. The final exam date will be given by the

2 University. Midterm Exam: February 26th, 2018 (Monday) Final Exam: May 4th, 2018 (Friday) Laboratory: All laboratory work must be completed to meet the minimum requirements for a passing grade in this course. You must pass the all labs in order to pass this course. You can pass the labs by earning equal or higher grade than C on Lab Performance and Lab report. Any missed lab will result in a failing grade in this course. While students are working in the laboratory, they should keep and remember Laboratory safety rules It is recommended to use your own laptop for your lab assignments. However, there are a few PCs available for you to use in the laboratory. When you choose to use the PCs in the laboratory for your lab session, it is not guaranteed that these PCs are perfectly ready for your lab session and you may experience unexpected difficulties due to these PCs. You can contact TAMU/ETID IT to resolve your problem. Term Project: While the tentative date is included in the syllabus, the actual date will be announced in class Term Project/Poster Due: April 27, 2018 (Friday) The term project is your opportunity to demonstrate your skills learned throughout this course. The term project can be done in a group of two students (no more than two), or you can choose to do it by yourself. Students who worked in a group for the term project require to report each member s contribution as percentage (Max: 100% per each student), which will be included in the grading. You must pass the Term project in order to pass this course. Attendance: Attendance is required, and only documented university approved absences will be allowed. The university guidelines on attendance can be found the following link: For lectures, attendance will be checked once or twice per week in class. Students who missed the roll call and who came late will result in deduction of the attendance points. Students who are late to the class should report to the instructor right after the end of the class. Otherwise, their attendance will be remained as absent. Later in this course, there will be Term Project Preparation Sessions. These are optional help/preparations for the term projects. Attendance for the term project preparation sessions is recommended but not required. The first week lecture class attendance will be checked but will not be included in grade calculations. Late assignments or reports: Any late work such as assignment or report is not acceptable. However, your work submitted up to 24 hours late shall incur a penalty deduction. After 24 hours, if you still haven't turned in the assignment or report, you will receive no credit for the portion of the assignment or report.

3 Grading Policy: Your course grade will be based on the following tentative point distribution: Midterm Exam 23% Final Exam 23% Homework 10% Laboratory 20% Term Project 14% Quiz and Attendance 10% Total 100% Your final grade will be determined by the total percentage as follows: A: 100% 90%, B: 89% 80%, C: 79% 70%, D: 69% 60%, F: Below 60% (Round to the Nearest One) Academic Integrity: "An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do." For questions about honor code violations or the review/appeal process see: American with Disabilities (ADA) Policy Statement: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact Disability Services, currently located in the Disability Services building at the Student Services at White Creek complex on west campus or call For additional information, visit Tentative Schedule of Topics: Weekly Date, (No. of Classes) 1/15 (2) Topics: Embedded Systems and MSP430 1/22 (3) Topics: MSP430 Assembly Programing Lab 1 1/29 (3) Topics: MSP430 C Programing, MSP430 General Purpose I/O Lab 2 2/5 (3) Topics: MSP430 Timers, S/W PWM Lab 3 2/12 (3) Topics: LCD module Lab 4
