In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

The proliferation of multicore processors has done more than provide a boost in processing power to server applications. Multicore chips also pose the opportunity to revolutionize how embedded systems ...

Real-time system designers and embedded software developers are veryfamiliar with the tools and techniques for designing, developing anddebugging standalone or loosely coupled embedded systems. UML ...

Python has become quite the trending program language over the last few years. Named after the famous Monty Python comedy group, the language is object oriented and interpreted (not compiled). This ...

When do you need to use a real-time operating system (RTOS) for an embedded project? What does it bring to the table, and what are the costs? Fortunately there are strict technical definitions, which ...

System designers are thinking of precision timing as a layer, one that supports the entire stack, from hardware to software and applications.
