This course aims to help students improve their skills to
electronic systems based on microprocessors and microcontrollers, in the perspective of embedded systems.
This course aims to help students improve their skills to:
electronic systems based on microprocessors and microcontrollers, in the perspective of embedded systems, using the C programming language.
Fundamental concepts:
- Architecture of an 8bit uP
- Programming model
- Memory and input/output circuits
- Auxiliary and address decoding circuits
AVR Family of microcontrollers:
- Architecture
- Memory and internal peripherals
- programming in C
Programming microcontrollers in C
- Specificities and techniques
- Debugging techniques
Lectures are based on the oral presentation of the topics (twice a week, one hour each). They may comprise problem solving in order to consolidate the concepts. In the Lab classes students will be organized in groups. Students will have two lab assignments and one mini-project (hardware and software) based on an AVR microcontroller.

Attendance to 75% of the lab classes
Best test (25%), worst test (15%), homeworks (20%), mini-project with report (40%).
The final grade is limited at the tests' wheighted average plus 4 (out of 20).
Two written tests during the semester, several homework assignments and one mini-project with written report.
Not applicable
Students can improve their grades in the following year, by attending two written tests and doing an individual mini-project and correspondent written report.
