Resumo:
An embedded system is a microprocessor system where the computer is completely
encapsulated or dedicated to the device or system it controls. Unlike general-purpose computers,
such as the personal computer, an embedded system performs a set of predefined tasks, usually
specific requirements. Since the system is dedicated to predetermined tasks, through engineering
one can optimize the design by reducing size, computational resources and product cost. This
work presents experiments for the development of the Embedded Systems course for the
graduation of Electrical Engineering at the UFCG, using microcontrollers for the practical
teaching of the discipline.
