Course Description.

The objective of the course is to introduce the concept of Harvard + RISC architecture microcontrollers and design of embedded computing systems on typical applications including interrupts, timers, LCD and LED displays, keypads, a/d converters, rotary coders, stepper motors, serial and parallel communication interfacing. The design applications are introduced on a very widely used typical 16-bit embedded microcontroller unit, PIC18F452. The scope of the course is the simple, distinct PIC18F452 embedded system design with the applications in C and RISC assembly programming. The design/theory scale of the course is around 60/40.
