Description
Course Description: Basics of Embedded SystemEmbedded systems are at the heart of modern electronics - from mobile phones and smart home devices to automotive systems and industrial machines. If you've ever wondered how these devices work and want to build a strong foundation in this exciting field, then this course is the perfect place to start."Basics of Embedded System" is a beginner-friendly course designed to introduce you to the fundamental concepts, components, and applications of embedded systems. Whether you're a student, hobbyist, or aspiring engineer, this course will help you understand how embedded systems function and how they are programmed to interact with the physical world.We start by exploring what embedded systems are, how they differ from general-purpose computers, and where they are used in everyday life. You'll learn about the key building blocks such as microcontrollers, sensors, actuators, and memory. The course also covers how embedded systems are designed - from hardware and software integration to system-level thinking.You'll gain insight into real-time operations, the importance of timing, and how embedded systems handle multiple tasks using interrupts and scheduling. We'll also introduce basic programming concepts as they relate to embedded systems, helping you understand the role of embedded software (firmware) in controlling devices.No prior experience in embedded systems is required. This course is structured to be clear and engaging for beginners. If you have a basic understanding of programming or electronics, it will be helpful, but not necessary. Throughout the course, we'll use simple analogies, practical examples, and optional hands-on activities using simulation tools or basic microcontroller kits (like Arduino or 8051) to reinforce learning.By the end of this course, you will:Understand how embedded systems work and where they are usedIdentify and describe the key components of embedded systemsLearn the basics of microcontroller operation and interfacingGrasp the role of firmware and real-time operation in embedded designExplore simple applications and case studies from real-world industriesThis course is not about just theory - it's about understanding how software and hardware come together to create smart, responsive, and reliable systems.Whether you want to pursue a career in embedded systems, robotics, IoT, or simply want to explore how your favorite gadgets work, this course will give you a solid start.Join us today and begin your journey into the world of embedded systems - where software meets hardware!
