Embedded Systems Hardware Interfacing

This course explores the most popular interfaces used in embedded systems.

Key interfaces covered include GPIO, ADC, Serial/UART, I2C, SPI and USB.

Popular RF Technologies used in embedded systems are also covere, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC.

Students will gain hands-on experience utilizing an STM32 IoT Discovery Node throughout the course.

Course Highlights: Covers both wired and wireless embedded interfaces Interfacing at both the physical and protocol layer Useful case studies guided by hands-on exercises Course Learning Outcomes: Connect and program GPIO for reading digital inputs and writing digital outputs Connect devices that output analog signals and use analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) Connect Serial/UART devices and use them for both input and output I2C and SPI devices, understanding their range, and connecting them to an embedded system Embedded designs and USB devices Incorporate Wi-Fi into an embedded system Connecting BLE devices to embedded systems Understand various RF options for embedded systems Hardware: STM32 IOT Discovery Node 915MHZ - Mfg.
