ESPB 6.0 Status elective
Condition Formal prerequisite does not exist, but it is expected that the student is familiar with Computer Architecture, Operating systems, Assembler, C and C++ programming, System software programming, Microprocessor systems
The goal Understanding the architectures of modern embedded systems. Understanding and mastering the adjustement of embedded systems. Analisys of important characteristics of embedded systems. Acquiring skills for embedded systems' application development.
The outcome Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to: - analyse and understund documentation of embedded systems hardware components, - to extend existing open source operating systems for embedded devices, - to adapt embedded operating systems by developing new device drivers, in order to incorporate new hardware component, - to develop applications for embedded operating systems, that interacts with hardware components through available API, - to conduct analisys of developed system in order to identify and remove potential defects.
