C-Programming-for-Embedded-Systems

By Michael J. Pont

This course is concerned with the implementation of software (and a small amount of hardware) for embedded systems constructed using a single microcontroller. The processors examined in detail are from the 8051 family (including both ‘Standard’ and ‘Small’ devices).

1. Design software for single-processor embedded applications based on small, industry standard, microcontrollers;

2. Implement the above designs using a modern, high-level programming language (‘C’), and

3. Begin to understand issues of reliability and safety and how software design and programming decisions may have a positive or negative impact in this area.
