Important information about the schedule:
Architecture of Embedded Systems will exceptionally be offered this winter semester with the following dates:

• Lecture: Fridays, 2–4 p.m., Takustraße 9, Room K40

• Exercise Group A: Tuesdays, 2–4 p.m., Takustraße 9, Room K63

• Exercise Group B: Wednesdays, 12–2 p.m., Takustraße 9, Room K63

You must choose one of the exercise sessions.

Students learn the basic structure of microprocessor architectures for embedded systems including data formats, instruction formats, instruction sets and memory organization. They learn and practise the practical scope of interfaces and input/output systems and peripheral devices. They will learn about the properties of cyber physical systems, sensors, actuators and wireless sensor networks (WSN) and discuss their areas of application. They also learn how to connect and use field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and practise the application-related programming of embedded systems in C and Assembler. They also learn the basic structure of current operating systems for embedded systems, in particular real-time operating systems, real-time scheduling and real-time communication, and practise their implementation. Finally, aspects of the security of embedded systems including attack vectors, process isolation and trusted computing are discussed and evaluated.
