120 credits including Computer architecture, Operating systems, and Real-time systems. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• apply model based construction and analysis of embedded systems, especially the software.
• use current techniques and tools, e.g. Simulink and MATLAB to develop embedded software.
• work i teams through the entire development cycle, from system specification to constructing a prototype and system implementation.

Content

Computational models for parallel systems, heterogeneous embedded systems, prototyping including model construction and code generation, gathering and judging different construction possibilities, simulation, verification, and testing of embedded systems, and UML-diagram and use of Simulink.

Instruction

Lectures, lessons, assignments, labs and project.

Assessment

Oral exam and written assignments (7 credits). Practical assignments and demonstration of project (3 credits).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method.
