The last 3 weeks of the course Advanced Embedded Software Development at CU Boulder consists of a project designed and implemented by students, individually or in teams.  Implementation schedule is based on Agile Scrum with 3 one week sprints.  The only requirements of the project are:

1) The project must use real hardware.

2) The project must use Buildroot or Yocto to build an embedded device image.

Students are able to submit extra credit proposals for additional work to share portions of their projects with future students in the form of howto steps or pull requests.
