There are 4 modules in this course
This comprehensive course teaches the fundamentals of real-time embedded system design, focusing on both theoretical principles and practical implementation. Students learn rate monotonic theory, analysis, and practices for developing reliable embedded systems that can meet strict timing requirements. The curriculum covers the implementation of real-time services using POSIX threads, exploring the differences between Linux user space and kernel space applications. Through hands-on projects using Raspberry Pi hardware with embedded Linux, students design and build microprocessor-based embedded system applications for digital command and control. The course addresses critical concepts such as quality of service theory, scheduling policies, sequencing service requests, and timing analysis. Students also explore real-time hardware architectures and software stacks, including multi-core configurations. By completing programming assignments, timing analyses, and peer reviews, students develop practical skills in building real-time applications that can be applied to various industries requiring deterministic computing performance.
