===== Lab Project =====

  * Lab Project Description: <code text pgt302_202021s1_lab_project.txt>
-----------
Lab Project
-----------

Note: This is a group project!

Develop an application that utilizes any of the available modules at the
laboratory (e.g. GPS/GSM module, Bluetooth module, Temperature/Humidity Sensor,
RF transceiver) AND one other module that you have to purchase on your own.

The developed application must be presented as a commercial product. Overall
evaluation will be based on two main components: technical evaluation and
product evaluation.

Technical Evaluation will be based on the number of module interfacing and its
complexity. So, applications with more complex interfacing (e.g. protocols,
external interface circuit) will be considered for extra marks.

Product evaluation will be based on product brochure and a practical
demonstration of the application. Having aesthetic features in your
application/product will assist towards getting better grades.

Requirement:

- submission of a product brochure
- demonstration of a working application (product)
- individual AND group Q/A for technical competency

DUE: WK14/14 (Respective Lab Sessions)

[CAA Supplement] Technical Report 1 (Group Report)

- analyze future enhancement(s) that can be applied to your product
- for each feature (can be more than one), specify
  = advantage of having that feature
  = additional component needed
  = sketch interfacing required (more detail = more marks)
  = additional costs involved

Requirement:

- submission of technical report (MAX 5 pages)
- short presentation (15 minutes)

DUE: WK14/14 (Respective Lab Sessions)

  * Lab Project (CAA Supplement 2): <code text pgt302_202021s1_lab_project_tr2.txt>
-----------
Lab Project
-----------

[CAA Supplement] Technical Report 2 (Individual Report)

- analyze alternative options redesign your product
- assuming you can use any components to implement THE SAME product
- provide overall schematic with interface details
- also, provide (for each component use)
  = distinctive technical info
  = reason(s) this component is selected
- provide estimate cost for this product

Requirement:

- submission of technical report (MAX 10 pages)
- short Q&A (10 minutes)

DUE: WK14/14 (Respective Lab Sessions)

===== Course Synopsis =====

This course introduces contemporary software technology for embedded systems. Students will be exposed to the requirements of embedded systems that frequently impose time and/or memory constraints. Among the topics that will be discussed are embedded systems, platform hardware, cross-compilations, barebone systems, peripheral interfacing and embedded operating system. Knowledge in this subject is important for electronics engineers who are interested in system development and integration.

===== Course Outcome =====

  - Able to DESCRIBE the concept of embedded software.
  - Able to EVALUATE embedded software implementations.
  - Able to DEVELOP embedded software for specific applications.
