inf203 - Embedded Systems I (Course overview)

• Basics of technical computer science
• Computer Engineering

This module is compulsory for students who are specialising in "Eingebettete Systeme und Mikrorobotik". Associaltes with the modules:
In the module "Eingebettete Systeme II" additonal relevant topics such as design processes, HW/SW-Partitioning, High-Level-Synthesis and Hardware discription languages are discussed. The modules Eingebettete Systeme I und II offer cross-references to the module "Rechnerarchitektur", "Realzeitbetriebssysteme" and semantic orientated modules of theoretical computer science. It is possible to enhance the knowledge of embedded systems design by attending the modules "System Level Design" and "Low energy System Design".

At the end of the semester

Written or oral exam

This module provides an introduction to the design of digital embedded systems.
Professional competence
The students:

• name functional and non-functional requirements to specify embedded systems
• discuss design space and associated embedded systems design methods
• name control and feedback control systems' core concepts
• characterise the fundamental digital signal processing algorithms

Methodological competence
The students:

• design and develop embedded feedback control systems with modelling tools
• implement an embedded hardware-/software system according to a given specification
• analyze various specification languages according to different properties

Social competence
The students:

• implement solutions to given problems in teams
• present results of computer science problems to groups
• organize themselves as a team to solve a larger problem using project management methods

Self-competence
The students:

• acknowledge the limits of their ability to cope with pressure during the implementation process of systems
• solve excercises self-responsibly
