The course targets the development and analysis of software for embedded systems. It is organized as supervised lab work, where participants develop a proprietary serial communication protocol on a ATMega microcontroller in C. At the end of the course, all student implementations are intended to interact with each other.

The course is offered in English language. Depending on the participant feedback, it can also be offered in German language.

The first meeting is a lecture, all subsequent meetings are organized as lab work. The lab slots must be prepared by the students through coding assignments. For that reason, the lab room is available exclusively for this course during the whole lecturing period. Your solution must be presented both to other students and the supervisors during lab time. Suggested or neccessary changes can then still be implemented. Between the lab slots, the discussion forum should be used for interaction between the students and the supervisors.

The course has a participant limit. The preliminary registration for this course takes place via OPAL. In case the number of interested students is too high, we will conduct a small multiple choice test during the first lecture. Based on your score in this test, you may be allowed to participate.
