521419A Computer Engineering II (2,5cu)

$RCSfile: index.html,v $ $Revision: 1.46 $ $Date: 2006/02/10 09:45:43 $

ABSTRACT

The course deepens the understanding of computer engineering into system design, building on the course Computer Engineering I. The examples are based on Intel's microprocessors and PC computers. The course consists of lectures, exercises, a laboratory assignment and an examination of which the latter two are mandatory. These pages contain some important information, such as exercise material, schedule, contact information and laboratory assignment material. This course has been replaced with the Embedded Systems (sulautetut järjestelmät) course beginning from spring term 2006.

Introduction

Course has been replaced with the Embedded Systems course. Kurssi on korvattu Sulautetut Järjestelmät -kurssilla.

Lecturer

Jukka Riekki

Goals

The aim of the course is to deepen the understanding of computer engineering into system design.

Contents

Introduction to microprocessors, interrupts, cache memory, peripheral and external devices and their programming (timer, interrupt controller, serial port, etc.), embedded system processors and system development.

Implementation

Lectures will be held during periods 4-6. Laboratory assignment is scheduled during the classes. Registration is needed only for the laboratory assignment and the examination. Optional exercises, where students can earn extra points to the current course examination, is provided.

Prerequisites

• 521415A Computer Engineering I
• 521453A Operating Systems
• 811122P Introduction to Programming
• 521413A Digital Techniques I

Schedule

Lectures

Two hours weekly on Thursdays at 10 - 12, starting 3.2.2005 in L5. There will be no lectures on 10.3.2005.

Laboratory work

One 4 hour session for each student (two students per group, 20 groups per session):

Sign-up lists will be available in the Optima Learning Environment

Examination

No more examinations will be arranged.

Optional Exercises

Students can earn two extra points to the current course examination by completing optional exercises. By completing these exercises, chances to pass the examination improves significantly. They also give students a necessary practical background to complete the laboratory assignment and the examination.

• 2004 Exercises
• 2005 Exercises

Laboratory Work

The laboratory work involves ANSI-C coding in groups of two in a computer class. Each student must take part in one lab. For university students, pre-exercises must be done and returned before attending the lab.

• Laboratory work 2004
• Laboratory work 2005

Contact Information

• Email: t k t 2 @ e e . o u l u . f i
• Exercises and pre-laboratory questions should be mailed to: t k t 2 - i n b o x @ e e . o u l u . f i

The assistants are responsible for exercises, laboratory assignments, tutoring and reviewing exam answers.
