  3. Course Overview • In-class activities • 3 projects • 1 Exam • 1 Final • Some Homework Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  4. Goals Give you skills, concepts and information that will • Make you a better engineer • Add to your value as an employee • Light your fire Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. William Butler Yeats Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  5. Goals • Learn tools • Can use them, not an expert • Primary focus is software development • Learn Embedded Systems Concepts • Deal Intelligently with Concepts/Issues • Generalize skills learned in this course • Hands-on fun • Get close to modern hardware • Real-time Java programming • Build with Legos Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  6. Course Mechanics • Course is project-driven • Work in teams • Activities and Lectures will be interleaved during class • Minimize time spent outside class on projects • Testable Material • Questions from Lectures • Variations from • Tutorials • Papers Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  7. “ Housekeeping lssues” • CitLearn logins • CWID • Password • Call helpdesk if you have issues • Used for • Grades • Exams • submissions Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  8. Successful ES Programmer Practices (Know & Do) • Hardware Architecture • Core hardware (processor/controller) • Peripherals (what is being controlled) • Tools & Toolchains • Real-time embedded programming • Good concepts, techniques, habits Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  9. Assessment Activity What is your experience with • Hardware (alot, some, none) • Windows or Linux OS (alot, some, none) • Other OS (alot, some, none) • Programming (a lot, some, none) • Java (alot, some, none) • Embedded Systems (a lot, some, none) Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  10. Why Use Legos? • Popular • Readily available • No soldering required • Quickly experiment with alternate physical designs • Mindstorms, Technics, etc. are easy to program Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006

  11. Why High-level Language? • Fewer bugs by design • Productivity b/c of library support • Abstractions • Use if you can • Dive lower if you need to • Optimize with care • Profile first Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2013

  12. Why Choose Java? • See http://www.practicalembeddedjava.com/WhyJava.html • Lejos NXJ is a *really* nice tool with Libraries for programming Lego robots/devices • Java runs on millions of devices now Instructor: George Rudolph, Summer 2006
