What it covers
The unit enables you to understand, analyse, specify, design and test embedded systems in terms of the hardware architecture, distributed systems and the software development that deploys a real-time kernel and the migration of software to hardware. The design, analysis and implementation of a real-time kernel will be studied that includes scheduling policies, process creation and management, inter-process communication, efficient handling of I/O and distributed processor implementation issues. You will be involved in a design project that involves the hardware and real-time system design of an embedded system with hard deadlines using an FPGA development system.
