Academic year 2019/2020
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Pavel Ošmera, CSc.  
Supervising institute: ÚAI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
Acquirement of overview of PC hardware and peripheries. Adoption of practical knowledge and skill in programming of 8 bit microprocessors ATmega (ATmega,Xmega).
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students will be able to design a basic PC configuration and create simple programs controlling a 8b microprocessor ATmega.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge from mathematics and physics and C programming are required.
Course contents:
The course is aimed to adoption of basic knowledge of computer hardware. Further the course both in theory and practical use aims to working with 8 bits microprocessors ATmega. Students learns on practical examples using development kits how to solve basic tasks of uP technology.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
Active participation and the development of a simple microprocessor programs. Final project.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Solving an extra assignment can compensate absence.
