(PROFESSIONAL ELECTIVE – V)
Course Objectives:
To provide broad understanding of the requirements of Real Time Operating Systems.
To make the student understand, applications of these Real Time features using case
studies.
Course Outcomes:
Be able to explain real-time concepts such as preemptive multitasking, task priorities,
priority inversions, mutual exclusion, context switching, and synchronization,
interrupt
latency and response time, and semaphores.
Able describe how a real-time operating system kernel is implemented.
Able explain how tasks are managed.
Explain how the real-time operating system implements time management.
Discuss how tasks can communicate using semaphores, mailboxes, and queues.
Be able to implement a real-time system on an embedded processor.
Be able to work with real time operating systems like RT Linux, Vx Works, MicroC
/OSII, Tiny OS
