Introduction to embedded computers

Introduction to microcontroller and microprocessor

1. Basic Concepts in Microcontrollers vs. Microprocessors: Understanding the difference between microcontrollers (integrated systems with CPU, memory, and peripherals) and microprocessors (central processing units without built-in peripherals).Embedded Systems: Introduction to embedded systems and how microcontrollers and microprocessors fit into them. 2. Architecture and Components CPU Architecture: Understanding the basic architecture of CPUs, including the control unit, arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and registers.Memory: Introduction to different types of memory (RAM, ROM, EEPROM, Flash) and how they are used in microcontrollers and microprocessors.Input/Output (I/O) Ports: Learning about digital and analog I/O ports, and how they interface with other components.Peripherals: Overview of common peripherals such as timers, counters, communication modules (UART, SPI, I2C), and ADC/DAC converters.
