Embedded C Programming Laboratory (CS2901)

Qualifier Applications open for January 2027 term, Last date to Apply: January 29, 2027

Foundation Level

Embedded C Programming Laboratory

The laboratory complements the Embedded C Programming theory course by providing hands-on experience with modern microcontroller development boards and software tools. Students perform practical experiments involving the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), GPIO, communication protocols such as UART, I²C, and SPI, and timers. The laboratory also covers testing, debugging, and validation using an integrated development environment (IDE), helping students develop practical embedded systems programming skills.
