一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>本課程為嵌入式系統之入門課程，簡介嵌入式系統之基本概念。課程首先介紹MSP430微控制器以及如何操控
<br>MSP430的主要元件，如basic I/O, timing and clocking, interrupt handling, serial 
<br>communication等，以進行嵌入式系統開發。其次，課程利用ARM-based的開發板，介紹embedded real-
<br>time OS, synchronization, sensor modules等。課程設計以實驗為主，修課學生須每週上實驗課，並在
<br>期末完成一期末專題。建議學生先修作業系統。
