COSC 454 - Embedded System Design

3 Credits

When Offered (Spring)
This course explores the design of custom circuitry and single-purpose processors. The emphasis is on hardware/software codesign, using high-level tools to implement circuitry and program microprocessors. Topics covered are: digital circuitry, software development for general-purpose processors, single-purpose processors, memory systems, communication interfaces, finite state machines, concurrent processing models, control theory, integrated circuitry, synthesis levels and verification.

Prerequisite(s): COSC 354 or COSC 284.
