【UTAustinX】 UT.6.01x Embedded Systems开课了

我看地里大部分都是CS相关的公开课。这是昨天看到的一个课，算是跟EE有点联系。我本来就计划巩固一下嵌入式的知识，所以就注册了课程。刚开课，现在报名还来得及。
基本上评分以lab为主，simulation占45%的分，还有硬件实现的45%的分数。老师说，不想买硬件也可以上课，但不给证书。我还没想好要不要买硬件。

About this Course

How do they do it? If that is your reaction every time you see an electronic gadget you like, then wonder no more. Join us on a journey that will unravel how these electronic gadgets are designed, developed, and built as embedded systems that shape the world.

This is a hands-on, learn-by-doing course that shows you how to build solutions to real-world problems using embedded systems. Each student will purchase a Texas Instruments TM4C123 microcontroller kit and a few electronic components. This microcontroller has a state of the art ARM Cortex M4 processor. The course uses a bottom-up approach to problem-solving building gradually from simple interfacing of switches and LEDs to complex concepts like display drivers, digital to analog conversion, generation of sound, analog to digital conversion, graphics, interrupts, and communication. We will present both general principles and practical tips for building circuits and programming the microcontroller in the C programming language. You will develop debugging skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and software instrumentation. Laboratory assignments are first performed in simulation, and then you will build and debug your system on the real microcontroller. At the conclusion of this course you will be able to build your own arcade-style game.

Prerequisites

Computer programming course in any language with exposure to variables, arithmetic, logic, loops, and functions. High school physics course covering current, voltage, resistance, and power.

刚发第一周的任务，

• JANUARY 22, 2014Tasks to complete the first week of the course:
  1) Order the kit. If you do not have yet received the kit, you can do the labs in simulation now, and then go back and complete the labs on the board when your kit arrives. Instructions for ordering the kit can be found at [size=1em]Course Web Site;
  2) Watch the videos and read the content of the first two chapters;
  3) Take the quiz at the end of chapter 1 and chapter 2;
  4) Perform Lab 2, which involves installing software and running an existing program both in simulation and on the real board.
  

第一次在公开课版发帖，由于是edx的课，我还没弄清楚，若贴上来视频网址，大家能不能看。请版主指点

edX的教学视频很多都是通过youtube提供的，所以国内不翻墙的话，有些课程是看不了的。不过相应的网页中倒是提供下载功能的。

顶 好像很不错

手机回的，出了点问题，所以回了三个

在第一周视频intro部分说的，我理解是因为lab占90%,final占10%。而lab的一半分数都是需要硬件的任务。没有硬件，就没法交作业。
我去淘宝看了下，它用的那个单片机要100元左右

删不了乱码贴，只好编辑一下，忽略吧

不好意思，我开着goagent，所以没留意。
你也可以试试啊，翻墙很方便哒～ 我是前两天心烦的时候装好的

挺好的，不知道有没有OS的课程

不知道欸。一直没搞懂OS指什么。你看下吧

SYLLABUS

The best way to understand what you will learn in this class is to list the labs you will complete and the example projects we will build. You will complete each lab first in simulation and then on the real board. For each module we will design a system and you will build and test a similar system.

Module 1: Welcome and introduction to course and staff

Module 2: Fundamental concepts: numbers, computers, and the ARM Cortex M processor
Example. Develop a system that toggles an LED on the LaunchPad
Lab 2. Run existing project on LaunchPad with switch input and LED output

Module 3: Electronics: resistors, voltage, current and Ohm’s Law   

Module 4: Digital Logic: transistors, flip flops and logic functions

Module 5: Introduction to C programming
Example. Develop a system that inputs and outputs on the serial port
Lab 5. Write a C function and perform input/output on the serial port

Module 6: Microcontroller Input/Output
Example. Develop a system that inputs from a switch and toggles an LED output
Lab 6. Write C software that inputs from a switch and toggles an LED output

Module 7: Design and Development Process
Example. Develop a system that outputs a pattern on an LED
Lab 7. Write C functions that inputs from two switches and toggles an LED output

Module 8: Interfacing Switches and LEDs
Example. Develop a system with an external switch and LED
Lab 8. Interface an external switch and LED and write input/output software.

Module 9: Arrays and Functional Debugging
Example. Develop a system that debugs by dumping data into an array
Lab 9. Write C functions using array data structures that collect/debug your system.

Module 10: Finite State Machines
Example. Develop a simple finite state machine
