About this subject

This subject covers computer organization and pipelining, embedded processors and hardware, embedded software development, the embedded computing platform, and real-time operating system concepts such as tasks, semaphores and inter-process communication. After it, you will be able to explain how an embedded system's hardware and software fit together and design multitasking embedded software that uses RTOS synchronization and communication mechanisms correctly.
