• Objectives
• The objective of this unit is meant to be a
  hands-on type to enhance the practical skills of
  students by developing and debugging an embedded
  systems hardware and software/firmware. Also
  provide students with an opportunity to gain a
  thorough understanding of the design methodology
  of the embedded systems and familiarity with
  hardware and software development and debugging
  tools.
• Learning Outcomes
• On completion of this unit, students should be
  able to
• Understand the concepts, issues, challenges and
  process related to the system level design of an
  embedded system.
• Design and develop an embedded system from
  scratch, starting from processor selection,
  electronics components, data sheets and
  progressing through construction of hardware and
  implementation of firmware.
• Perform troubleshooting, testing, measuring and
  analysing the developed embedded systems board.
