Embedded Hardware & Networking

hierarchies, bus arbitration, and DMA offloading to optimize embedded hardware performance. It explores interrupt handling, low-level driver architecture, and communication standards including CAN, SPI, I2C, and RS232/422/485.

Program Overview

Module 2 focuses on embedded hardware fundamentals and networking protocols, beginning with digital logic design, memory hierarchies, and timing analysis. It addresses hardware efficiency through bus arbitration, DMA task offloading, and vector-table interrupt management to reduce latency and eliminate shared-data hazards. Finally, it details serial and automotive communication standards, such as RS232/422/485, CAN bus, SPI, and I2C, alongside low-level driver development and hardware abstraction via register mapping.
