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.
   -

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

To be familiar with the structure of CPU and other computer components, basics of electronics and machine-level programming. The basic knowledge of programming in C language.

Compulsory individual or team twelve-hour project.

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.
