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 ...

Computing today is not restricted to your desktop computer. Printers, cell phones, and life-support systems are examples of systems that could not operate without reliable software. Building real-time ...

After introducing interrupts and the foreground/background architecture, I am finally ready to tackle the concept of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this first lesson on RTOS (commonly ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

In the world of embedded systems, the language debate is alive and well. For years, C has dominated this space, its minimalistic design and low-level control giving embedded engineers the tools to ...

Designing an embedded system with security in mind has become necessary for many industries. The drive to connect a device to the internet allows remote attacks on the system. Developers who want to ...

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 ...
