Please Scroll down to read Book's details, context and topics:

This document contains my personal notes in the form of manuscripts from self-study and class lectures when I was taking the Embedded Systems class taught by Dr. Zakhia Abichar at the University of Central Florida. This document consists of handmade annotations that I did myself about the subject, it contains common and fundamental knowledge about the field. These notes represent a distilled version of what I deemed significant and readily available in literature.

The purpose of this document is to provide students with an additional resource for their learning, fostering curiosity and aiding in self-study. Certain images, diagrams and definitions included in my notes are inspired or sourced from the books: “MSP430 Microcontroller Basics by John H. Davis” and “Computer Organization and Design, The Hardware – Software Interphase by David A. Patterson and John L. Hennessy 5th edition”.

Embedded Systems is an elective class for some electrical engineering tracks, it is especially recommended for students that have a tendency for career paths in digital systems, product prototyping, design and related fields. Please do not use this information for graded assignments of any kind. This document is solely for self-study and enjoyment.
