This document outlines the units of an embedded system design course. Unit I introduces embedded systems and the design flow. Unit II covers embedded hardware components like processors, memory, and I/O. Unit III discusses embedded software like drivers, operating systems, middleware and applications. Unit IV examines the embedded design process including the development lifecycle, tools, and testing. Unit V presents case studies of embedded system designs using different processor platforms. The course aims to cover both hardware and software aspects of embedded system design.
