Laborbelegungsplan D10/00.32

 

Practical Courses

  • At the first appointment, you will be instructed on what you need to know to be allowed to be in the D10/00.32 laboratory. It is therefore essential to be present. Attendance is compulsory on all dates
  • The practicals must be prepared. The preparation will be checked at the beginning of the practical course.
  • A protocol must be made for each practical course.
  • Initial practical tasks for RA (computer architecture) can be found here. Or in packed form here.
  • Older practical exercises and documents for MPS on ATMEL boards (AT91EB63) can be found here. Or in packed form here. This practical course was not updated for WS2023.
  • In WS2023, the practical course Microprocessor Systems MPS then Embedded Systems ES was carried out on an Arduino DUE for the first time.
  • In SS2024, the practical course Embedded Systems ES was still carried out on an Arduino DUE. The aim was to drive a model car in front of a wall (not against it) in as controlled a manner as possible.
  • The developed practical course tasks and documents for ES on Arduino DUE can be found here. Or in packed form here. An attempt will be made to keep the latest version of the practical course documents and tasks available via a GIT repository (possibly: https://code.fbi.h-da.de/eingebettete-systeme/arduino-due/ss2024).
  • In WS2024/25, the practical course will be carried out on a Raspberry PICO.
    The developed practical tasks and documents for ES on Raspberry PICO will soon be available here. Or in packed form here. An attempt will be made to keep the latest version of the practical course documents and tasks available via a GIT repository (possibly: https://code.fbi.h-da.de/eingebettete-systeme/raspberry-pico/ws2024).​​​​​​​
  • Please note the information provided in the associated courses
  • A Linux image (64bit version) “RA_WSS2024.ova” for RA can be found here.
  • In the Wiki you will find instructions and notes that can help you.
  • Room allocation D10/00.32 (RA and MPS) with tutors can be found here.
