The goal		The aim of the course is to present the specific design concept for rapid system development based on intuitively created peripheral abstraction libraries with the high-level of hardware/software abstraction. The idea is that the students work is focused on the particular application, implementation of control algorithms, development of embedded network application, high-level communication.
The outcome		Students will be able to participate in various embedded systems development projects, including projects related to the development of complex measurement and control applications with industrial network communication.
