Learning outcomes
The goal is to introduce students to the solution of modern microprocessor applications, especially in embedded applications. The subject is based on the knowledge acquired in the subject Microprocessors and in subjects focused on programming. The C language for microcomputers, together with the language of symbolic addresses, is used for programming applications in the subject's exercises.
The student will learn to design functional applications with the use of modern microcomputers, focused mainly on automation control systems.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of microcomputer programming in the assembler environment and basic knowledge of C language syntax.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Home assignment evaluation, Discussion

During the semester and in the final exam, the student must demonstrate an understanding of the solved problems. The specific requirements will be communicated to the students by the teacher in the first week of the semester. Active participation in exercises is required.
