Week of Monday, August 18, 2014
  • Welcome to ECE 4101/5101!  The class starts Tuesday, August 19, 2014.
  • Homework Assignment 1 is due Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at the start of class.
  • Lab Assignment 1 is Due Friday, August 29, 2014 at 5:00 pm.  It is using the MSP430 Board (not Renesas Sakura).
  • Please take the time to read the class syllabus.
  • The lab assignments will use the Renesas RX63N Evaluation Board.  Each student can purchase one if they wish.  Visit www.renesas.com, Digikey, Avnet, or Future Electronics on-line sites to purchase one (about $100 to $118).
  • This course may use videos of lectures recorded during the Fall 2011 and Fall 2012 semesters. The professor uses transparencies and the document camera to teach this class.
  • The course book is Embedded Systems: An Introduction using the Renesas RX63N Microcontroller by James M. Conrad, Micrium Press, 2013.  A FREE copy (pdf) is in the class website (notes page) and Moodle site.  You can NOT buy a hardcopy yet since it has not been printed.  Note:  Tests are open book, open notes, and you can use a pdf on a PC or tablet during a test.
  • The lectures are on YouTube in high-definition, so make sure to choose the better resolution option (and perhaps make it full screen) for the best viewing experience.
