One of the most critical aspects of modern computer systems involves interfacing with the world. This course will focus on how power-efficient embedded systems are built. Students should learn the fundamentals of embedded system programming and feel competent to design, build, and manufacture their own embedded devices. Furthermore, students should understand how embedded systems interface with external peripheral devices. Finally, students should understand how application-specific blocks enable modern commercial devices.
