This course will focus on Computer Systems for Mobile and imbedded processing. System on a Chip (SoC) architectures will be examined in an integrated approach that combines hardware and software functions of the CPU. To support this study the components of the ARM architecture and its programming environment will be thoroughly explored. Basic microControllers and multicore processors will be used in the lab exercises to support the study of the interplay between the hardware & software.
