Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
MST.ES1 Introduction to "Embedded Computing" I


[updated 28.11.2012]
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Barbara Hippauf
Lecturer:
Dipl.-Inf. Ulrich Bruch


[updated 28.11.2012]
Learning outcomes:
More in-depth study of the material covered in the previous lecture. In particular, the following topics will be dealt with in greater depth: Bootloaders, simple encryption techniques, energy saving modes, lock mechanisms. However, the main topic of the lecture is the use of micro operating systems on an AVR. Students will expand on the topics covered in the lecture by solving exercises on development kits using the Gnu compiler. Students will be able to design a small embedded system themselves in a final project.
