Learning objectives
To give the students the knowledge of architecture of different microcontrollers. To acquaint with performance of individual subsystems namely CPU- programming model, flash memory, timer, interrupt subsystem, communication interface, AD converter. Make students familiar with basic rules and programming techniques in a high-level language C as well as with embedded system design.

Progress assessment
Attendance at lectures and demonstrations in this course is not monitored. Labs and the project are monitored instruction.
The course is assessed by:
- laboratory assignments with the defense,
- mid-term written examination,
- project designing with obligatory storing into IS and getting at least 5 points for the project,
- final exam.
