Real-time Systems

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Digital Design

Synopsis:

Students get basic knowledge in the area of designing SW for embedded systems with a real-time operating system (RTOS).

Requirements:

Basic C programming knowledge necessary.

Syllabus of lectures:

Syllabus of tutorials:

Study Objective:

Students will solve several simple tasks, in order to get basic knowledge about the RTOS development environment, and to measure timing parameters of the OS and the hardware that are necessary to select a suitable platform for a given application. Then they will solve a more complex task, which will fully utilize the means of graphical programming intewrface and other advanced tools for real-time systems programming. The lectures cover the theory of real-time systems, the formal design means, the certain software engineering practices, safety aspects lesd to improve the quality of the resulting software products.
