About

This blog is a documentation of EE499 Special Topics.  Our project is to create basic “hello world” style programs and implement them on three platforms: PIC (18f4550), MSP430 Launchpad, and the EZ430-RF2500 (wireless implementation).  Our progress will be posted here as well as code and documentation of the projects.

This was our proposal for the university.

499 Proposal

Project Description: In order to gain experience with the current embedded
platforms present in industry we purpose the 499 project.  We would like to
implement several basic programs across four embedded platforms.  These
programs included basic I/O along with peripheral interface.

Resources Required:

	
MSP430 Launch Pad
	
PIC18
	
Atmel Atmega 328
	
ARM MakeBoard (Using ARM and not the extra make environment)

Programs:

	
Input
	
Output
	
Peripheral interface
	
Wireless
	
Controller Implementation

Organization:

	
Week 1: Into/Part Collection
	
Week 2&3: Platform 1(PIC)
	
Week 4&5: Platform 2(Atmega 328)
	
Week 6&7: Platform 3(MSP430)
	
Week 8&9: Platform 4(MakeBoard)
	
Week 10: Final Report

Credits:
We purpose 3 credits for this class.
