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 ...

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 ...

In embedded environments, where the reliability of one element of a design often dictates the reliability of the whole, issues such a real-time correctness is best achieved through “design-in” ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The IRS is coming! In fact, it is already here and unfortunately, embedded system engineers have been caught off-guard and snoozing. As you might have guessed, I’m not talking about the internal ...

Why external consistency is so important for a hard real-time database. Maintaining a transaction timeline. The impact of a transaction-scheduling policy. A real-time database-management system (DMBS) ...
