1.1 Course Objectives,ES Definition,ES VS General Purpose systems11:09
Define embedded systems as a hardware-software duo that performs a dedicated function with real-time operation, minimal resources, and low power.
1.2 Applications in Various Domains7:40
Explore how embedded systems power automotive, medical, avionics, and consumer electronics, from engine control and anti-lock braking systems to software defined vehicle, wearables, and IoT devices, enabling flight automation.

2.1 ES Classification12:56
Explore how embedded systems are classified by latency (real-time, hard real-time, soft real-time, non-real-time), triggering (event-triggered vs time-triggered), and processing hardware (microcontroller, microprocessor/DSP, SoC, FPGA).
2.2 MP Vs MC7:31
Explore the key differences between microprocessor- and microcontroller-based embedded systems, including functionality, peripherals, power, cost, applications, and development environments.
2.3 ES Hardware7:22
Explore embedded hardware options, from microcontrollers to ASICs, and learn to select hardware by power, latency, cost, and real-time needs, with emphasis on clocks, buses, and peripherals.
2.4 ES Software architecture12:18
Explore Flynn's taxonomy of embedded computation models (sp, sd, spmd, mp/md) and common software architectures, including layered, event-driven, and service-oriented designs alongside model-view-controller.
2.5 ES Baremetal Stack13:23
Explore three layered embedded software stacks that separate application from hardware—bare-metal, autosar-based ecus, and linux-based platforms—illustrated with a self-balancing bot using imu, i2c, pid, and pwm.
2.6 ES AUTOSAR Stack7:10
Explore how an airbag ECU applies Autosar stack to sense vehicle data and deploy in real time, communicating via CAN, LIN, and SPI networks.
2.7 ES Linux/Android Stack7:13
Explore Linux-based layered architectures for embedded cockpit systems, highlighting heterogeneous system-on-chip designs with MPUs and MCUs, interfacing via USB, Ethernet, MIPI CSI, and touch screens.
2.8 ES Programming Languages10:39
Explore embedded programming languages, from C and C++ to Python (MicroPython) and Rust, and compare bare metal, Autosar, and Linux architectures along with essential toolchains.

3.1 ES Design and Development8:13
Explore the formal design and development steps of embedded systems, from requirement analysis (functional and non-functional) to architecture design and hardware–software partitioning, through SDLC-driven testing and validation.
3.2 Realworld Embedded Ecosystem8:18
Explore the real world embedded ecosystem where OEMs, solution providers, and service providers collaborate to design, verify, and validate embedded systems, detailing system architects, developers, validation engineers, workflows, and standards.
