Annotation
Students are acquainted with functional principles of computers and embedded systems communication interfaces and with a design of typical peripherals. Technologies like USB, PCI, and PCI Express, wired and wireless computer and sensor networks as well as industrial distributed systems like CAN and LIN are introduced. Project oriented laboratories will allow students to become familiar with implementation of communication hardware and software into the real devices, including their support in operating systems.
Study targets
The main goals are to prepare student to be able to design and integrate suitable communication interfaces within an embedded system design from both the hardware and software points of view.
