Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Cape Town

Highlights & Introduction

This repository contains the code and documentation for the practicals for the EEE4120F: High Performance Embedded Systems course, a honours level module in Electrical Engineering at the University of Cape Town (UCT).

Repository Structure

The repository is organised as follows:

• Each practical has its own dedicated folder (e.g., Practical 1, Practical 2, etc.)
• Within each practical's folder, you will find:
  • The practical manual.
  • The practical tutorial
  • The practical skeleton's code.

Practicals Overview

Each practical is geared to run concurrently with what is taught in class
