Course outcomes: After studying this course, students will be able to:

1. Describe the architectural features and instructions of 32 bit microcontroller ARM Cortex M3.
2. Apply the knowledge gained for Programming ARM Cortex M3 for different applications.
3. Understand the basic hardware components and their selection method based on the characteristics and attributes of an embedded system.
4. Develop the hardware /sofiware co-design and firmware design approaches.
5. Explain the need of real time operating system for embedded system applications.

Question paper pattern:

  • Examination will be conducted for 100 marks with question paper containing 10 full questions, each of 20 marks.
  • Each full question can have a maximum of 4 sub questions.
  • There will be 2  fu11qnestions from each module covering all the topic of the module.
  • Students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one filll question from each module.

  • The total marks will be proportionally reduced to 60 marks as SEE marks is 60
