Embedded Systems – Self Paced

The Embedded Systems Curriculum 2025 is designed to help students, engineers, and professionals master the fundamentals and advanced concepts of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and real-time applications. This AICTE-updated embedded systems course blends theory with hands-on practice, making you industry-ready for careers in IoT, robotics, embedded hardware, and system design.

Starting with the Introduction to Embedded Systems, you’ll learn about their history, evolution, and applications in industries such as automotive, healthcare, and consumer electronics. The program explores the 8051 microcontroller architecture, including its processor core, memory organization, and special function registers (SFRs).

You’ll gain practical knowledge of addressing modes, instruction sets, and assembly-level programming (ALPs), followed by Embedded C programming for I/O functionalities such as interfacing LEDs, switches, LCDs, and keypad matrices with microcontrollers.

Advanced modules cover Timers, Counters, UART-based serial communication, interrupts, and priority management, as well as communication protocols like I²C and SPI with hands-on programming. You’ll also work on minor projects to apply your skills in real-world scenarios.

The course concludes with an introduction to ARM Cortex controllers, where you’ll develop and debug programs in Embedded C while interfacing LEDs, switches, and LCDs with ARM controllers.
