SYEN 7306 - Real-time Embedded Systems

Three credit hours.

This course presents technologies for the design and implementation of embedded systems using Linux Operating System (OS). Such technologies include Linux, real-time Linux OS, and real-time embedded application design. Students will learn how to administer Linux OS and how to create a task-specific kernel for their own embedded application. They will learn techniques necessary for developing real-time Linux device drivers. real-time kernel space programming, and inter-process communication between real-time kernel and user space. Students will obtain hands-on experience with embedded software design through course projects. Upon completing this course, students should be able to develop their own embedded applications based on open source software resources.
