2. Ning WengECE 4242 Welcome Aboard Who am I? ─ Ning Weng, Associate Professor in ECE ─ Office: Engineering E119 ─ Email: nweng@siu.edunweng@siu.edu Teaching: ─ Data Communication ─ Networking Processing Systems ─ Embedded Systems Design Research interests: ─ Embedded System Security, Computer Networks Tell us who you are ─ In 1 minute

3. Ning WengECE 4243 What is Embedded? An Embedded system ─ is a differentiated compute platform ─ is either invisible, being part of a larger infrastructure, or predetermined to expose limited capabilities in deference to a dominant usage.

4. Embedded Applications Ning WengECE 4244

5. What this class is about  Embedded Systems Design and Optimization  Fundamental knowledge on platform and processor architecture, os, networking, security, power and etc.  Hands-on experience to build a embedded application. What you can expect to get out of it  A better understanding of different integral components of modern embedded systems  A better way of thinking about system building 5Ning WengECE 424
