Embedded Real-Time Operating System (RTOS)

Learn to write real-time event-driven applications running under an embedded Real Time Operating System (RTOS).

FreeRTOS is used as an example which will be examined at the C source code level.

Practical applications running on an RTOS for embedded computers in event-driven systems are also described.

This course is targeted for an embedded software engineer or scientist developing applications with hard real-time scheduling requirements.

Course instruction and lab assignments are conducted using the C programming language.

Therefore, a working level knowledge of C is required.

Course Learning Outcomes: Differentiate between a real-time and logical time system Prioritize tasks in a real-time system using rate monotonic analysis Identify the differences between various scheduling algorithms such as table-driven and priority preemptive schedulers Construct single and multitask applications using a real time operating system Synchronize tasks created within the operating system using semaphores and mutexes Analyze real-rime application performance through the use of statistics Course Typically Offered: Online in Fall and Spring quarters.

Prerequisites: Completion of ECE-40097 Embedded Controller Programming for Real-Time Systems or equivalent knowledge and experience.

Hardware: STM32 IOT Discovery Node 915MHZ - Mfg.

Part # B-L475E-IOT01A.

Part can be purchased from MOUSER Electronics or Digi-Key Electronics or any other reputable electronics dealer.

This microcontroller is used in all four required courses in this program.

Next Step: Upon completion of this class, consider enrolling in other courses in the Embedded Systems Engineering certificate program.
