EMBEDDED SYSTEMS SOFTWARE

Course Description

This course presents assembly language programming as the bridge between high-level programming languages and embedded systems hardware with particular reference to the embedded processor.

Course Objectives

The course aims at:

i) Introducing students to the role of assembly language programming

ii) Equipping students with skills required to apply a modular approach to assembly language programming with code reuse

iii) Provide students with knowledge of the instruction set of a typical embedded processor

iv) Imparting an understanding of memory addressing, the various addressing modes, hardware interrupts and how to use them

v) Enabling students to integrate assembly language subroutines into a high-level language program
