An embedded system is the one that has computer-hardware with software integrated in it as the most significant component. It is a dedicated computer-based system, may be independent or part of a large system with the following components:

1. Hardware: It includes processor, timers, I/O devices, ports, memories, ports, etc.
2. Application software: To perform multiple tasks at the same time.
3. Real Time Operating System (RTOS): It supervises the application software and provides a mechanism to let the processor run a process as per scheduling and perform the context-switch between different processes.

Course objectives:

The embedded systems course is aimed at providing high quality training to software engineers as well as those who wish to enter this field. In this course, students can learn practical lessons and techniques used to design, implement, integrate and test software used for advanced embedded systems. The course offers the trainees with detailed description of the life-cycle for designing multi-objective and multi-discipline embedded systems. The main goals behind this course are:

Impart knowledge on designing of real time and embedded systems
Explain the basics of this system
Tell about writing a program for an embedded system
Show how to design, run and test these systems
