EECE 4263 - Embedded Systems (3) S

Special fixed-purpose computing system design is considered using a combination of microprocessors (software) and custom digital logic (hardware). Design trade-offs focus on the selection and use of software versus hardware processors for optimized performance. Includes hardware interfacing, bus protocols, peripheral systems, digital control systems, real-time constraints and networking. Design considerations include cost, performance, power, flexibility and maintainability.
