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 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 ...

A real time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. A real-time operating system or RTOS (sometimes known as a real-time executive kernel) is a ...

Modifying any part of the Linux kernel source code is usually a challenging task most software developers would prefer to avoid, composed as it is thousands of code lines divided by hundred of files.

Examine a computer-controlled machine built in the last 20 years and you’ll note a common design practice. The machine’s real-time control functions, its vision system (if there is one), and its human ...

With the advent of multithreaded/multicore CPUs, even embedded real-time applications are starting to run on SMP systems—for example, both the Xbox 360 and PS/3 are multithreaded, and there even have ...

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 ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...
