Embedded System Design Overview

This document outlines the course structure for a class on embedded system design. The class is divided into 8 units that will cover topics like custom single-purpose processors, standard peripherals, memory interfacing, interrupts, real-time operating systems, and hardware-software co-design. Students will learn about optimizing processor design, memory hierarchies, communication protocols, real-time scheduling, and encapsulating resources like semaphores and queues for basic embedded system design using an RTOS. The class involves both lectures and exams.
