Introduction to the fundamental concepts of computer systems through bare metal programming on the Raspberry Pi. Explores how five concepts come together in computer systems: hardware, architecture, assembly code, the C language, and software development tools. Students do all programming with a Raspberry Pi kit and several add-ons (LEDs, buttons). Topics covered include: the C programming language, data representation, machine-level code, computer arithmetic, compilation, memory organization and management, debugging, hardware, and I/O. Enrollment limited to 40. Check website for details:

CS 349H: Software Techniques for Emerging Hardware Platforms (EE 292Y)
Research seminar on software techniques for emerging computational substrates with guest lectures from hardware designers from research and industry. This seminar explores the benefits of novel hardware technologies, the challenges gating broad adoption of these technologies, and how software techniques can help mitigate these challenges and improve the usability of these hardware platforms. Note that the computational substrates discussed vary depending on the semester. Topics covered include: In-memory computing platforms, dynamical system-solving mixed-signal devices, exible and bendable electronics, neuromorphic computers, intermittent computing platforms, ReRAMs, DNA-based storage, and optical computing platforms. Prerequisites: CS107 or
CS107E (required) and
EE180 (recommended).

EE 185B: Engineering a Smart Object - Specifications and Embedded Design
EE 185A/B/C is a full-year sequence that teaches all of the concepts, knowledge, skills, and techniques to engineer all aspects of a smart object. This second course focuses on understanding the art of specification by writing a specification and fabricating to someone else is written specification. We will also explore embedded system design and the impact of design decisions by redesigning the electronics from
EE 185A to meet low power specifications. Students will learn about power, energy, micro controllers, low-level software and how, in embedded systems, electronic hardware, mechanical design, and software are coupled. Course prerequisites:
EE 185A as well as
CS107, CS107E or instructor approval.
