Learning outcomes
The main objective of the class is to give a practical knowledge of hardware-software platforms and a clear understanding of the design tradeoffs in energy-efficient embedded systems. The class is divided in three blocks of lectures: (I) system-on-chip hardware design - fundamental concepts, (II) microcontroller systems design - hardware and software, (III) Parallel software and programming for advanced embedded systems.
Course contents
1. Introduction to Hardware/Software design and System-on-Chip Architectures.
2. Microcontroller systems design – Hardware and Software
- Microcontroller architecture based on the ARM Cortex M family and RISC-V. Microcontroller peripherals. Microcontroller programming for maximum Energy efficiency
- Analog and Digital sensor interfaces, MEMS sensors – Smart sensors – Wireless sensor Networks. System power management
- Multicore architectures and their use in
energy efficient embedded Systems with examples from consumer and industrial market segments. - Programming
shared memory multicore systems using the OpenMP programming model – with practical examples based on open-source multicore RISC-V system (PULP platform)
