Higher education teachers: Tuma Tadej
Collaborators: Olenšek Jernej

Subject description

Prerequisits:

• Fundamental C knowledge. This course relies on course »64136 Designing Embedded Systems«

Content (Syllabus outline):

• Basic paradigm: Multitasking, real time execution, multiple access to resources, inter task communication.
• The time slicing principle and consequences: time slicing, schedulability analysis, implementation on assembly language and C language level, multiple stack data structures, interrupts, response time analysis.
• Synchronization and arbitrage: pipeline structures, buffering data, semaphores, program atoms.

Objectives and competences:

Understanding the specifics of programming embedded systems: demands of concurrent execution of several tasks in real time. Fundamental time slicing techniques of programming and solving of typical synchronization problems. Developing practical skills during project oriented laboratory work in combination with course 64136.

Intended learning outcomes:

• Capability of designing a simple real time multitasking operating system.

Learning and teaching methods:

• Lectures, discussion groups, laboratory project work (group and individual).
