Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Methods of individual activities
Learning outcomes
This course provides students with the basic concepts of microcomputers, microprocessor architectures, low and high-level oriented programming of microprocessors and their applications, especially in embedded designs. Practical aspects are demonstrated on 8-bit architecture Atmel AVR.
Be able to apply any microprocessor, self-study of literature provided by manufacturers of microprocessors, assembler oriented programming of RISC microprocessors.
Prerequisites
Procedurally oriented programming in any high-level programming language (C is the best), basics of electronics and digital circuits (logical functions, combinatory and sequential circuits).

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

Student solves several homeworks and one final project during semester. Final project is practical programming problem (about 100 rows of code in assembler language for AVR architecture). Course is finished by oral exam, student must respond to questions from predefined set of topics.
