• Students are familiar with general structure of microcontroller and with the techniques of embedded systems design.
• Students are capable to design and debug the routines and initialization routines for typical on-chip peripherals.
• They are able to design and implement the control part of a simple embedded application according to various constraints such as performance, power, number of pins etc.
• They are skilled in utilizing of basic debugging techniques for the application programs written in assembly language or C language.

To give the students the knowledge microcontroller architectures. To acquaint them with operational principles and configuring/programming of individual subsystems namely CPU programming model, memory, interrupt subsystem, common and watchdog timers, real-time module RTC, low-power modes, SCI, SPI, IIC, USB interfaces, KBI module, AD converter. To learn the instruction set architecture and principles of programming and debugging of basic assembly applications. Make students familiar with basic rules and programming techniques in a high-level C language as well as with embedded system design.

• Machine Level Programming (ISU)
• Design of Computer Systems (INP)

To be familiar with the architecture and structure of scalar CPU, computer and with programming in assembly language. The basic knowledge of programming in the C language.
