Course Objectives

• Exposure to the issues involved in selecting an off-the-shelf OS
• Basic understanding of operating systems internals.
  • How they can give reasonable, predictable performance under real-time constraints.
• Bring up an off-the-shelf OS running on the UW development platform.
• Projects that include:
  • Creation of coordinated interrupt servicing under real-time conditions.
  • Creation of a device driver for an off-the-shelf OS.
  • Creation of a system with multiple real-time performance constraints.
• Utilization of off-the-shelf embedded and real-time operating system as part of a project.

Course Grading

• Assignments 1-4
• Course Project - 30%
• Final Exam - 30 %
• Participation in discussions and forums - 30%
• You may work on homework with other class members.
  • If you work with others on any homework you must tell me who when you turn the assignment in via e- post.
• The final is not collaborative, but it is open notes, open book.
