Microprocessors and Assembler - 710171M

During the course, fundamental concepts on microcontroller architecture, management of input/output peripherals, interruptions and conception of the software structure in an interpreted language will be studied. The course ends with the implementation of a simple solution based on a real-time executive. For the explanation of the course topics, a development platform based on a commercial microcontroller will be used, combining theoretical and practical sessions, carried out in a computer room in order to run simulations of the course study cases. Likewise, the realization of laboratories is included in order to put the concepts into practice as they are addressed.
