AIM
To introduce to the functional building blocks of an embedded system for developing a real time system application.

OBJECTIVES
i. Introduce to features that build an embedded system.
ii. To help the understanding of the interaction that the various components within an embedded system have with each other.
iii. Techniques of inter facing between processors & peripheral device related to embedded processing.
iv. To enable writing of efficient programs on any dedicated processor.
v. To present in lucid manner the basic concepts of systems programming like operating system, assembler compliers etc and to understand the management task needed for developing embedded system.
