Introduction To Embedded Systems: Using Microcontrollers And The MSP430

This is an application-oriented text and includes debugged and efficient C implementations of real-world algorithms. It covers TI technologies and features the C6416 DSK and focuses on image processing signal and algorithms using embedded processors.O

Introduction to Embedded Computer Systems, CPE 323, is a junior class covering both software and hardware aspects of embedded computer systems.Texas Instruments' MSP430 microcontroller is used as a teaching vehicle. The course covers the following topics: MSP430 instruction set architecture, MSP430 assembly language, programming and debugging microcontrollers using C/C++, executable files and software reverse engineering, principles of I/O interfacing, I/O peripherals, clocks, timers, watchdog timers, parallel ports, serial communication (UART, SPI, I2C), analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, LCD display controllers, DMA controllers. The course is accompanied by Embedded Systems Laboratory (CPE 325).

Introduction to Embedded System Design. Instructors: Prof. Dhananjay V. Gadre and Prof. Badri N Subudhi. Embedded Systems surround us in the form of gadgets and devices that we use. There is no aspect of human lives, which is untouched by such devices at home or for health diagnostics, transportation, entertainment. Learning out Embedded Systems will give the skills to design and manufacture embedded system products of the future which will help participants towards better employability. This course teaches embedded system design using a building block approach, which allows one to visualize the requirement of an embedded system and then to design it efficiently. The course will teach embedded system design using a microcontroller, namely Texas Instruments MSP430 low power microcontroller. The course will introduce various interfacing techniques for popular input devices including sensors, output devices and communication protocols. It will teach power supply design for embedded applications. It will also teach effective embedded programming techniques in C and how to maintain code using GIT. It will have a significant practical component, which will be achieved through a MSP430 microcontroller kit, to be distributed for free, to selected participants. (from nptel.ac.in) 2b1af7f3a8
