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).

  • The list will be augmented in the coming days; suggestions for papers from the groups are also welcome and should be sent by email to the lecturer of the course.


The presentations will be held during the last lectures. The deadline for submitting the summary reports is October 17, 2014, 20:00. The summaries should be sent by email to the lecturer of the course. The summary reports are to be typeset in LaTex using this template. The structure of the report and the presentation will be posted here and discussed during the lectures.

Please email your presentations before 08:00AM on the day of presentation (October 20 or October 22) to the lecturer of the course.

Extra Practicals

For students requiring assistance in programming skills, extra practicals are organized on Fridays.


Practical Description Deadline Notes
Extra Practical 0: C programming: Linked Lists PA_8001_2014_Extra_Practical_0 September 19, 2014 20:00


Resources for C Programming:

Recommended Text

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

James W. Grenning, Test-Driven Development for Embedded C, The Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2010.

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.

Raspberry PI

For the first half of the course, we will use the Raspberry PI 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 Raspberry PI and have a lot of fun, you can buy a Raspberry PI B+ board (e.g., from [1], which usually includes also a Micro SD card). You need to buy/have your own micro USB adapter. In order to use a computer display you need an HDMI cable or a converter to the appropriate input for your display monitor.

Acknowledgement

The course 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.
