Embedded Software Design

This course will discuss on Problems and Issues of Software Development, Process of Software Design and Life Cycle models, case study of embedded systems. Introduction to Embedded System: Fundamental concepts, common problems, programming environment, architecture of microprocessors, software development, instruction sets, software design, drivers. Embedded Operating System: Real Time Operating System, fundamental concepts, software development for RTOS. Design and Quality Attributes: Execution, reliability, reusability.

At the end of the subject, students should be able to:

1. Formulate the life cycle of software development in software engineering.

2. Work effectively either individually or in a group during practical sections through searching as well as managing the information from a variety of sources.

3. Design an embedded solution using real-time operating system for real-world application.

4. Present and report outcome of the case study in the field of embedded software design.
