Structures (or “structs” in C) allow you to group several related variables and treat them as one unit. They are a mechanism for extending the type system of the C language by introducing user-defined ...

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 ...

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. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

Modern embedded systems are expected to operate with predictable timing, continuous reliability, and near-instantaneous response under increasingly complex workloads. From automotive control units and ...

Real-time scheduling algorithms determine the order and timing with which tasks execute in embedded systems subject to stringent timing constraints. These algorithms seek to guarantee that critical ...

Many embedded developers program in C because they think C++ adds overhead and will not work well for real-time applications. There's some validity to that and understanding how to utilize C++ ...
