Objectives

On completion of the course students will be able to

  • program embedded applications
  • understand and use a kernel to support concurrency, real-time and reactivity
  • design, structure and analyze programs for embedded systems
  • explain different mechanisms for communication and synchronization between processes
  • explain characteristics of real-time systems and constructions to deal with them in programs
  • compare, select and apply programming language constructs designed for concurrency and real-time

Assessment

Taking part in the lab is mandatory and one cannot pass the course without doing the practicals. In addition, there will be a final written examination. During the lectures, some bonus questions will be asked, each of which will contribute 0.1 mark to the final mark (can come in handy when rounding up).

Recommended Text

We will occasionally use / refer to parts of the following book:

Alan Burns and Andy Wellings, Real-Time Systems and Programming Languages (4th Ed.), Addison Wesley, 2009.

The book is an optional resource for the course. If you want to have your own copy, you can order it, for example, from Amazon.

AVR Butterfly

For the first half of the course, we will use the AVR Butterfly board. The boards will be provided at the lab and you will have access to the lab even outside lab hours. However, if you would like to have your own AVR Butterfly, you need the board (e.g., from Atmel Webshop) and the AVT ISP MKII connector (e.g., from Atmel Webshop).

Acknowledgement

The present edition is based on the earlier editions of the course given by Veronica Gaspes. Also, the material provided by Johan Nordlander has been essential in the set up of this course.
