In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

This fifth lesson on RTOS finally addresses the real-time aspect of the “Real-Time Operating System” name. Specifically, in the video lesson 26, you add a preemptive, priority-based scheduler to the ...

In the last lesson, you encountered the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and you worked out a manual procedure of switching the context from one thread to another. In this lesson, ...

This online engineering specialization will help you elevate your skills from a beginning practitioner to a more advanced real-time system analyst and designer. You will dive deeper into ...

The proliferation of multicore processors has done more than provide a boost in processing power to server applications. Multicore chips also pose the opportunity to revolutionize how embedded systems ...

Medical device companies, especially those with real-time embedded-system products, are often burdened with lengthy verification cycles. Even small development efforts can result in months of ...

Real-time and embedded systems operate in constrained environments in which memory and processing power are limited. They must provide their services within strict time deadlines to their users and to ...

The annual show for the embedded electronics supply chain showcased many innovations in edge AI and connected, intelligent ...

A newly released update to Linux delivers kernel pre-emption, improved scheduling, and a Posix (Portable Operating System Interface for Unix) for enhanced real-time performance. Depending on the ...

Makefiles are a fundamental tool that every embedded software developer needs to understand. Even if you use an Eclipse-based IDE, behind the scenes, a makefile is generated to build your objects ...

Software engineers have a bad habit of being very optimistic. This optimism often doesn’t just include their calculation on how long it will take for a specific task to be completed but also on ...
