|
| 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 first semester. |
|
| Written notes : | A copy of the slides used during the theoretical lessons is available on the WWW page of the course.
