Examines the specification, design of a microprocessor-based computer system that are dedicated to specific application. Covers low-level programing, memory systems, I/O and system debugging and design an embedded microprocessor system using computer-aided design tools. Project implements a spectrum analyser using CMOS sensor and a PIC18F4550 microcontroller. The spectrum wavelength analysis is performed by a highly optimized by pic routines coded entirely in C. The output from the PIC is displayed using a 128x64 graphical LCD to allow a real-time view of a light signal.
