• Week 1: Introduction to Embedded Systems and Embedded C concepts.
  • Regarding this week's material, you may refer to any undergraduate level C Programming book for reference. ​
  • Lecture Slides (password protected).
  • Our Hello World Embedded C Project (on Keil). It is from Valvano's website.
• Week 2: Development platform  basics, C vs Assembly, A sample Embedded C project. 
  • This week we will discuss some basics on Keil environments. In addition to any undergraduate level C Programming book, ARM Infocenter will also help for any search.
  • Lecture Slides (password protected).
  • We will live-code previous week's project.
• Week 3: Building tool sets and tool chain 
  • This week we will cover some basics on programming tool set definitions.
  • Lecture Slides (password protected).
  • Our second live-code example is a test on timings for a Bubble Sort algorithm, and it is here (password protected).
• Week 4: Memory, Types, Allocation, Alignment
  • Lecture Slides (password protected).
  • This live-code example will teach you how dynamically allocate and deallocate memory. It is here (password protected).
• Week 5: Algorithm Complexity and Analysis
  • Lecture Slides (password protected).
  • Video Lecture (Complexity Review) 
• Week 6: Algorithm Complexity Live Code: we will examine complexity of two algorithms during our live code sessions:
  • Bubble Sort complexity analysis:
    • Project Files(password protected).
    • Video Lectures (Part I), (Part II) and (Part III)
  • Binary Search complexity analysis 
    • Project Files (password protected).
    • Video Lecture (single part)
  • Q/A Videos: (QA1)
• Week 7: Serial Interfacing
  • Lecture Slides (password protected).
  • Video Lectures (Part I), (Part II), (Part III), (Part IV), (Part V), (Part VI),
  •  For our live code session, we will cover this example. you will have to download this file,  and place it in your "...Keil_v5/ARM/BIN" folder, so as to "debug" your code. Otherwise, it will build, run but not debug. 
  • In addition, we will go over a project, which will allow us to connect to MATLAB over UART. Again do not forget to download this file,  and place it in your "...Keil_v5/ARM/BIN" folder.
• Week 8: The Midterm (Apr 21)
• Week 9: Analog Data Acquisition
  • Lecture Slides (password protected).
  • For our live code session, we will cover this example. 
• Week 10: Interrupt Programming
  • Lecture Slides (updated - password protected).
  • For our live code session, we will cover this example. 
• Week 11: Bayram Week, no Lectures.
• ​Week 12: Bayram Week. no Lectures
• Week 13: More on Interrupt Programming, Threading and Time-sliced multi-threading.
