Embedded operating systems (EOS) are known as real-time operating systems (RTOS) and also getting more pervasive in our daily lives. Topics of interest include basic OS functions, a relevant hardware review, interrupt sand interrupt handling, semaphores and peripheral I/O operations, real-time scheduling principles and implementation, latency, task management, shared data and synchronization, timers, message passing and memory management, timeline design and performance analysis using metrics and tests, understand RTOS and the resource management, quality of service issues, concurrency, firmware and ROM-resident system code, and debugging live systems. These concepts will be reinforced through C programming and assembly language assignments and project using the Linux operating system. Practical hands-on experience in building real-time applications running under an EOS.
