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. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Understanding the hardware and software architecture of embedded systems, and being able to develop them. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| A basic knowledge of digital electronics is needed. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Exercise and/or lab sessions. A practical project has to be carried out by students. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| 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. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| A copy of the slides used during the theoretical lessons is available on the WWW page of the course.
