“…Embedded systems courses are being integrated into computer science [1], electrical and computer engineering [2], [3], software engineering programs [4], and cross-disciplinary courses [5]. Current embedded systems courses span a number of topics including designing real-time systems [6], [7], lowpower systems that contain reconfigurable hardware (FPGAs and FPAAs) [8]- [10], embedded processors, firmware/software [11], and digital signal processing [12]. Pedagogically, these courses allow students to explore the trade-offs between different design modalities (i.e., hardware versus software, digital versus analog circuitry, dedicated versus reconfigurable hardware, etc.)…”

Universities around the world have modified their computer engineering curricula to include courses and modules focusing on the design of embedded systems including reconfigurable hardware, real-time processing, embedded processors, and firmware/software systems. This paper describes a different approach to embedded systems education-the development of an embedded systems track within an existing computer science program. This approach allows for an intentionally designed balance of computer science, computer engineering, mathematics, and science courses deemed necessary for a comprehensive embedded systems program.

A system for automatic testing of embedded software in undergraduate study exercises

As student numbers in embedded systems lab courses increase, it becomes more and more time-consuming to verify the correctness of their homework and exam programs. Automatic verification can vastly improve the speed and quality of such tests. This paper describes a system that can carry out black-box tests to verify whether the embedded software running on a target system meets predefined requirements. To this aim, we employ a special test board using an ATmega128 microcontroller which is connected to both the target system and to a host computer. Tests can be selected and started remotely, the results are presented to the user on the host. Monitoring and control via Internet is also easily possible. A special meta-language is used to describe the correct behavior of the tested program, and this description is compiled and downloaded to the test system via a standard RS-232 interface, where the test is executed. The same interface is used to control the tests and for transfer of data and end results.
