CS428 Course Information
The purpose of this
course is to provide an understanding of issues in the
design and implementation of embedded systems as well
as related operating system and virtualization
support. Topics include:
- Communication and peripherals: interrupt
controllers, LCDs, sound, serial interfaces, busses
- Interrupts and interrupt handling
- NAND FLASH and memory technologies
- Concurrency, real-time characteristics
- Operating systems support
- Kernel drivers, memory management, network and
storage I/O in the kernel
- System virtualization: processor, memory, I/O
CS428 is a lab-oriented course with hands-on assignments
that guide you through working with embedded processors
and the Linux operating system. You will prototype
working solutions in real systems and you will go
through the steps of real system design and
implementation. This year we will use the Lego NXT
platform and ARM-based, Linux-capable boards for the
assignments. The course will also include in-class
sessions with low-level operating systems tweaking,
driver development, and virtualization mechanisms using
Linux.
