Embedded Systems Engineering & MATLAB Programming

A warm welcome to the Embedded Systems Engineering & MATLAB Programmingcourse by Uplatz.

The course provides an introduction to the Embedded Systems and then moves on to provide detailed practical oriented MATLAB training. In this Embedded Systems and MATLAB course, you will learn Embedded Product Development with MATLAB along with MATLAB programming, graphics commands, GUI creation, MATLAB GUIDE. This MATLAB training will also provide you an end-to-end coverage of Simulink and Fixed Point Arithmetic with a practical demonstration of Simulink.

In this Embedded Engineering course you will learn about G.168 system in detail, its implementation in MATLAB, as well as G.168 testing. You will also understand clearly the difference between Embedded Firmware Engineer, Embedded Firmware Developer, Embedded Firmware Test Engineer, Embedded Software Engineer, Embedded Software Developer, Embedded Software Test Engineer, Embedded Systems Engineer, Embedded Hardware Engineer, Embedded Hardware Test Engineer, Embedded Hardware Design Engineer. This Embedded Systems & Engineering training will provide you an opportunity to learn about the skills required to be any one of the Embedded engineers and hence will give you direction on how to become an Embedded engineer or test engineer, or any of the titles mentioned above.

You will acquire knowledge on Embedded Hardware Development and its complexities through this Embedded Systems, Engineering, and MATLAB course.

An Embedded system is a controller, which controls many other electronic devices. It is a combination of embedded hardware and software. An Embedded System is an integrated system which is formed as an combination of computer hardware and software for a specific function. It can be said as a dedicated computer system which has been developed for some particular reason. Embedded systems work independently or are attached to a larger system to work on few specific functions. These embedded systems can work without human intervention or with a little human intervention.

There are two types of embedded systems microprocessors and micro-controller. Getting to market with in-demand IoT applications requires embedded systems designed for rapid development, flexibility and scale, along with a complement of devices, tools, documentation and support.

MATLABis a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. MATLAB (short for matrix laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by MathWorks, a leading developer of mathematical computing software for engineers and scientists. Intended primarily for numerical computing, MATLAB is a programming environment for algorithm development, data analysis, visualization and numeric computation.

Some of the key areas where MATLAB is used:

• Math and computation

• Algorithm development

• Modeling, simulation, and prototyping

• Data analysis, exploration, and visualization

• Scientific and engineering graphics

• Application development, including Graphical User Interface building

System vs. Embedded System

Basically a system is a set of interrelated parts/components which are designed/developed to perform a common tasks or to do some specific work for which it has been created. Thus a system is an arrangement in which all its unit assemble work together according to a set of rules. It can also be defined as a way of working, organizing or doing one or many tasks according to a fixed plan.

Embedded means something that is attached to another thing. An embedded system can be thought of as a computer hardware system having software embedded in it. An embedded system is a microcontroller or microprocessor based system which is designed to perform a specific task. For example, a fire alarm is an embedded system; it will sense only smoke.

Main components of Embedded systems are –

1. Hardware (hard-wired components)

2. Software (application software)

3. Firmware or Real Time Operating system (RTOS) that supervises the application software and provide mechanism to let the processor run a process as per scheduling by following a plan to control the latencies.

Examples of embedded systems are –

• Digital watches

• Washing Machine

• Toys

• Televisions

• Digital phones

• Laser Printer

• Cameras

• Industrial machines

• Electronic Calculators

• Automobiles

• Medical Equipment

Engineers and scientists across the globe use MATLAB to analyze and design systems and products currently transforming our world. The programming language is found in automobile active safety systems, interplanetary spacecraft, health monitoring devices, smart power grids and LTE cellular networks. The platform is optimized for machine learning, signal processing, image processing, computer vision, communications, computational finance, control design, robotics and other mathematical operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
