Introduction to Real-Time Embedded Systems Programming

A real-time embedded system is designed to monitor and respond to external environments within a time deadline. Systems interact with the environment using a variety of hardware and software interfaces. The embedded software manages these interfaces and makes sure that the tasks are accomplished within tight timing constraints. The Real Time Operating System (RTOS) on these devices is responsible for scheduling independent tasks and managing processes. This introductory course provides a foundation in the features and programming models of real-time embedded systems with hands-on learning. The course introduces the fundamentals of real-time scheduling and resource management protocols that are essential in designing and building products and covers the use of RTOS to effectively design tasks and device drivers to meet real-time requirements.
