Proposal for Training Embedded Software Engineers Using a Real-time Kernel Implementation Practice Program
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the important issues recognized recently is how to educate embedded-software engineers. With embedded systems, the real-time kernel plays an important role in basic controlling. This paper proposes an implementation practice program for embedded software engineers to be trained so that each is able to write the program code of a real-time kernel and check to see how it can function to support the design goals. Described herein also are the new real-time kernel, μK, that was specifically developed for the training use, and the results of having applied it for the implementation practice training program with μK at the “School of Monodzukuri (Manufacturing) 2008 for embedded system” (as organized by the Embedded Technology Center at Iwate Prefectural University). Key-words: Embedded system, Embedded software, Real-time kernel, Skill standard

The Asterix real-time kernel
This paper describes a real-time kernel, Asterix, that in a practical manner makes use of many of the recent advances made in the real-time systems research community. The basic ambition behind the development of the Asterix real-time kernel was to pack state-of the art research results into package such that it can be easily used and understood by people in the embedded systems industry. From ...
متن کاملTowards Adaptable Control Flow Segmentation for Measurement-Based Execution Time Analysis
During the design of embedded real-time systems, engineers have to consider the temporal behavior of software running on a particular hardware platform. Measurement-based timing analysis is a technique that combines elements from static code analysis with execution time measurements on real physical hardware. Because performing exhaustive measurement is generally not tractable, some kind of abs...

Currently, the Linux kernel is well equipped to compete with the soft realtime operating system. Linux has been the choices of the operating system. We adjusted optimized Linux kernel to the camcorder’s system architecture which is equipped with ARM cortex-A8 and implemented open-source based tool-chain, audio zoom calculation, and realtime HDMI I2C communication and userspace realtime thread p...
متن کاملA Road Map for Civil Engineers towards Bridge Engineering Through Academic Education and Professional Training
It is common in many countries that engineers having an academic degree in Civil Engineering are appointed responsible for different tasks related to Bridge Engineering. However, there are serious questions about whether formal university courses in civil engineering could cover the needs of a bridge engineer to fulfill his or her job successfully. Regarding the recent significant advances in t...
متن کاملA hardware supported operating system kernel for embedded hard real-time applications
In this paper a concept of the kernel, i.e., the time critical part of a real time operating system and its dedicated co-processor, especially tailored for embedded applications, are presented. The co-processor acts as a system controller and operates in conjunction with one or more conventional processors in hard real time environments. It is composed of three physically and clearly separated ...
