Course detail

Digital Electronics 2

FEKT-BPC-DE2Acad. year: 2023/2024

The course focuses on digital circuits, microprocessor technology, embedded systems and uses the C and ASM languages for programming 8-bit Arduino microcontrollers. Students will gain practical experience with individual parts of microprocessor systems and will also expand their knowledge of C programming language.

 

The graduate of the course will learn:

* Basics of microprocessor technology

* Structure of microprocessor systems

* Writing code in C and ASM

* Debug application for Arduino

* Design of circuit connections and operating software for embedded devices

Entry knowledge

The course is designed for students with knowledge of the basics of electronic components, passive and semiconductor circuits. The advantage is a basic knowledge of the C programming language.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Out of a total of 100 points, 20 can be obtained during the semester (20 - C project) and 80 from the final exam (70 - written part, 10 - oral part). To pass the course you need to receive a score of 50% or more and pass the final exam.

Aims

The aim of the course is to present the fundamentals of the microprocessor devices and to present the practical approaches of embedded systems design, including the evaluation of firmware in C and ASM.

Study aids

All study materials are available in BUT e-learning. Recommended (English) study literature is available in the BUT library.
