Course Structure and Grading: Homework will be assigned about once every two weeks and please
expect about two weeks for finishing each homework. No late homework will be accepted. Solutions to
homework problems will be made available. All written work must be clear and professionally done with
the necessary steps leading to the solution clearly marked. Homework solutions will be made available on
eCampus. At most one of the homework problems will be selected for grading randomly and it will carry
80% of the grade for that homework set. The remaining problems will receive a checkmark, if a solution
is present, and they will receive 20% of the grade for that homework set. Homework is intended to show
your individual work. Each student is required to turn-in his/her solutions to the homework assignments.
However, you are allowed to form groups or join each other on discussions regarding the problems.

Hardware Preparation:
1. Personal Laptop: Any laptop with Linux, Mac, or Windows would be ok. Ubuntu or Mac would
be preferable. If you have Windows system, you may try partitioning your system so that you can
dual boot. I do not recommend using virtual machine on Windows. If you dont want to be
bothered with all of these hassles, just use Windows. You wouldnt have any problems with using
Windows. The version of Ubuntu could be either 14.04 LTS or 16.04. Since I am using 14.04, it
would be more convenient for you to choose the same version. However, you shouldnt have any
problems using 16.04 as well.
2. Beaglebone Black: Choose Rev C.
3. MicroSD: 8GB is enough. Less than 8GB may cause some problems.
4. Other kits: You can use electronic parts from EIC.
