EmbeddedSystemNJU2017-Demo

Demo and designated library file for software design of the coursework to be assigned on Introduction to Embedded Systems in the first semester of Year 2017-2018, Software Institute, Nanjing University.

Contents

• Basic principles of code of the static library
• Header file to be included in order to utilize the library
• .a static library file
  Provided in Releases section
• Demos to demonstrate usage
• Demos to use OpenCV

Dependencies

Hardware

• RaspberryPi
  RaspberryPi 3 Model B is provided. When using Raspberry Pi 2, maybe you need an extra wireless USB NIC device.
• Driver circuit for powering DC motors
• DC motors and steering engine
  The former is for motion and the latter is for turning.
• Independent power supply for motors
  Raspberry Pi and motors shouldn't be powered by the same battery. This may interfere with the stability of Raspberry Pi.

Software

• Linux running on Raspberry Pi (Raspbian and Ubuntu recommended)
• OpenCV
• WiringPi (usually integrated with Raspbian)

Installation manuals can be found on the websites of Raspberry Pi and OpenCV.

Rules and restrictions

• These documents are visible on CMS and(or) Wiki pages of this repository. Violation shall receive appropriate punishment on gradings.
• The library is open-source, but using codes directly in the contest is forbidden.
• The library is released under the MIT liccense.

Help and assistance

• According to the rule of competition, there is no assistance in practical coding.
• If you consider bugs about this library, please test on those demos first. The library is considered bug-free only if any of those demos fails to run. Malfunctions are usually caused by hardware wearing-down of wirings or parts. You can call the stuff to repair the hardware part.
