The uses of embedded systems are virtually limitless, because every day new products are introduced to the market that utilize embedded computers in novel ways. In recent years, hardware such as microprocessors, microcontrollers and FPGA chips have become much cheaper. So when implementing a new form of control, it’s wiser to just buy the generic chip and write your own custom software for it. Producing a custom-made chip to handle a particular task or set of tasks costs far more time and money. Many embedded computers, even come with extensive libraries, so that “writing your own software” becomes a very trivial task indeed. The objective of this workshop is to present and discuss the embedded system architecture, to write the software for the processor, debug the software, to interface peripherals with the processor.
