Real -Time and Embedded Operating Systems

Catalog description

Addresses some of the fundamental challenges in the design, implementation, and validation of these real-time and embedded systems. Topics include resource management, concurrency, secure coding practices, memory management, timeline design and analysis using metrics and schedulability tests, hardware interfacing, device driver programming, memory maps and boot kernels, firmware and ROM-resident system code, communications and networking, and debugging live systems. These concepts will be reinforced through C programming assignments using the RTLinux operating system.
