====== Overview ======

Embedded systems are an important area of computer engineering and a large and growing market for computing technology. The trends to mobile computing, ubiquitous computing, and pervasive computing combined with ever increasing computational power and powerful new paradigms in hardware design are changing embedded systems design. In this course we consider the design of embedded hardware and software under pressures and constraints including performance, cost, size, time to market, power, ...

====== Prerequisites ======


The departmental prerequisites for this course are general pre-requisites and CSE3201.04 (i.e. the latest version of the course, taught using Verilog and with a hardware lab component). Students should have a good understanding of digital and analogue electronics and computer organisation. You should also be familiar with assembly programming (C programming will be very helpful).
