Embedded Systems Course Overview

This document provides an overview of an embedded computing systems course. The course objectives are to understand embedded systems fundamentals, differences between microcontrollers and microprocessors, and real-time operating systems. The course outcomes are assessing embedded system importance, designing systems using UML, writing ARM programs, describing computer system concepts, differentiating operating systems, and executing case studies. The course contains 5 units covering embedded system overview, ARM instruction sets, real-time operating systems, distributed systems, and development environments. Self-study focuses on CPU power consumption, operating system performance evaluation, and internet-enabled systems. The course uses two textbooks and references two additional books.
