SSD-3104:Embedded Systems Secure Development

DescriptionThis course introduces the basics of Embedded Systems software developments through the introduction of Raspberry Pi server kit and Python programming. The course will give students experience in programming embedded systems in real world applications with focus on security implications related to hardware devices. The Internet of Things (IoT) concept will also be introduced in this course. Topics include software issues in the design of embedded systems. Microcontroller architectures and peripherals, embedded operating systems and device drivers, compilers and debuggers, timer and interrupt systems, interfacing of devices, communications and networking. Emphasis on practical application of development platforms. Toward the end of the course students will be given overview of control systems (e.g. SCADA) operations and programming Lecture: 2 hrs/week; tutorial: 2 hrs/week (optional); Lab: 2 hrs/week.
