UNIT I   INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED COMPUTING AND ARM                                       

                PROCESSORS                                                                                                       

Complex systems and micro processors– Embedded system design process –Design example:  Model train controller- Instruction sets preliminaries - ARM Processor – CPU: programming input and outputsupervisor mode, exceptions and traps – Co-processors- Memory system mechanisms – CPU

performance- CPU power consumption.      

UNIT II EMBEDDED COMPUTING PLATFORM DESIGN                                                                                                   
 The CPU Bus-Memory devices and systems–Designing with computing platforms – consumer electronics architecture – platform-level performance analysis - Components for embedded programs- Models of programs- Assembly, linking and loading – compilation techniques- Program level performance analysis – Software performance optimization – Program level energy and power analysis and optimization – Analysis and optimization of program size- Program validation and testing. 

UNIT III PROCESSES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS                                                                              

Introduction – Multiple tasks and multiple processes – Multirate systems- Preemptive real-time operating systems- Priority based scheduling- Interprocess communication mechanisms – Evaluating operating system performance- power optimization strategies for processes – Example Real time operating systems-POSIX-Windows CE.

UNIT V SYSTEM DESIGN TECHNIQUES AND NETWORKS                                                                          

Design methodologies- Design flows - Requirement Analysis – Specifications-System analysis and

architecture design – Quality Assurance techniques- Distributed embedded systems – MPSoCs and shared memory multiprocessors.

UNIT V CASE STUDY                                                                                                                          
Data compressor - Alarm Clock - Audio player - Software modem-Digital still camera - Telephone

answering machine-Engine control unit – Video accelerator.

                                                                                                                  TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
