Description
Embedded Systems and Operating System Development Course. In this course, you will learn how to build an embedded operating system from scratch. You will be guided step-by-step through the creation of each technical software module that makes up an embedded operating system, as well as how to develop your desired device in-place (optional: you can use a free emulator or a ready-to-use emulator (for using a starter kit), starting with basic electronics and an industry-standard processor). Learn step-by-step how to create device drivers for real hardware components such as displays, SD card storage, Wi-Fi, inertial motion units (IMUs, i.e. accelerometers and gyroscopes), USB connectivity, analog joysticks, thermal imaging camera modules, and more. By the end of this course, you will be proficient in system-level programming in assembly and C languages, as well as the technical processes that control the interaction between CPU and memory. Thanks to plenty of hands-on experience and practical demonstrations, you’ll gain full control over the device by manipulating CPU registers, the stack, instruction pointer addresses, and more. At the end of the software development section, you’ll learn how to create a port to another architecture, such as x86. Although the hardware development section is optional, if you have access to the electronics lab, you’ll also have the opportunity to prototype your circuit, design and assemble your desired printed circuit board (PCB).
What you will learn in the Embedded Systems and Operating System Development course
-
Learn how to build an embedded system from scratch. This will give you a good insight into the target platform, but is not mandatory
-
Learn how to program a microcontroller from scratch by setting up the wiring and clocking, connecting the programmer, and flashing binary programs to the chip.
-
Gain deep insights into what an operating system is, when you need it, and how it works on embedded platforms.
-
Understand kernels, multitasking, context switching, scheduling, critical sections, and task synchronization from a practical perspective.
-
Understand CPU architecture in general and how to select a target CPU. In-depth understanding of MIPS32 Arch internals, such as registers and memory layout
-
Advanced application programming for the PIC32 (MIPS32) microcontroller.
-
Develop Board Support Packages (BSPs) for a target platform
-
In-depth and practical understanding of data communication via SPI and I2C buses as well as serial communication via UART modules (including USB-to-serial)
-
Learn how to build a preemptive and cooperative kernel based on CPU-specific assembly code to change the context of the task.
-
Learn how to provide efficient internal services for managing time, tasks and storage
-
How to set up inter-process communication (IPC) with mailboxes and message queues
-
Gain a deep understanding of the real-time constraints of an operating system to be considered an RTOS (real-time operating system) and how to address them.
-
Understand the priority inversion problem and learn how to implement specific countermeasures.
-
Device Driver Development Tutorial We develop step-by-step drivers for peripheral devices of our target platform, such as display and MicroSD card.
-
Application user interface with the operating system
-
Learn how to write a binary image to the target platform’s flash program at runtime and create a USB/UART bootloader
-
Learn how to create an operating system port and make it work on different CPU architectures
-
Understand the target platform’s electrical schematic and PCB layout (optional).
This course is suitable for people who
- From embedded developers to hobbyists and tinkerers who want to create their own operating system.
- This course is practice-oriented: you will be guided step by step through building a functioning operating system from scratch.
