Course contents : Embedded systems are computer systems used as components of more complex entities. This course studies the hardware and software specificities of embedded systems, focusing mainly on their real-time aspects. The course studies in detail the scheduling problem for real-time tasks, as well as the internal structure of a real-time operating system.
Course objective : Studying the structure and the development of embedded systems.
Prerequisites : A basic knowledge of digital electronics is needed.
Workshops : Exercise and/or lab sessions. A practical project has to be carried out by students.
Organization : Theoretical lessons followed by exercise and/or lab sessions. A practical project has to be carried out by students (indivually or in groups). The course is given on the second semester.
Written notes : A copy of the slides used during the theoretical lessons is available on the WWW page of the course.
