Objectives

Programme

Part 1 – Simple embedded operating systems (2 weeks)
Most important attributes of time and event driven systems, synchronization concepts, control constructs. Scheduling, task management, context switch. Synchronization of tasks: critical section, semaphore, mutex, message handling, task priority. The basic features of μC/OS-II (structure, configuration options, major services, differences between 8- and 32-bit systems).
Case studies: implementation of a complete control system using μC/OS-II operating system.

Part 2 – Basics of object oriented programming and desktop application development (8,5 weeks)
Recap object oriented concepts (object, class, member function, inheritance, virtual function). Introducing the C# language. Case study.
High level overview of the .NET Framework. C# language constructs: property, delegate, event, attribute.
Event-driven application development in .NET. Win32 API, message handling. .NET Windows Forms applications (architecture, basic principles, event handling).
Event-driven applications: controls, dialogs.
Event-driven applications: GDI+, graphics drawing.
Development of multithreaded applications.
Network programming based on sockets.

Part 3 – Software design and architecture (3,5 weeks)
The basic principles of object oriented software design, UML. The most important UML diagram types.
Document-view architecture (including some related patterns).
Document-view architecture case study.

The students will be able to understand and make use of the basic concepts of embedded operating systems. The objective of the course is to present platforms, techniques and tools which are required to create and run both application and system level software for embedded systems. After creating the hardware unit and embedded programs for it, the next natural step is the implementation of a desktop or web application that enables monitoring and parameterizing the hardware unit from a standard PC. The course presents the programming of desktop client applications, focusing on user interfaces, graphics drawing tools, multithreaded and network programming. Most modern development platforms follow object-oriented concepts. Consequently, the course provides introduction to object-oriented design, basic UML and a few architectural and design patterns. Students will be able to develop desktop client applications to access hardware units from PCs, and to create user friendly user interfaces for different client types. Network programming also gets an important role. The topics covered are illustrated by case studies and demo applications.

General rules

Requirements: In lecture term: An in-class term test In examination period: Written exam Pre-exam:upon request The requisite of the mid-term signature is to attend at the in-class term test and have at least satisfactory result. The requisite of attending at an exam is having the mid-term signature. The credits can be obtained by reaching at least satisfactory result at the exam. The grade consists of two parts: the grade of the mid-term test (25%) and the grade of the exam (75%). Additional possibilities: The in-class term test can be repeated once during the semester and once during the repeat period in accordance with the Code of Studies and Exams (CSE).
