Description
This module covers advanced c topics such as Memory Management and Compiler optimisation. It also looks at some RTOS fundamentals and use of development tools.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Design C programs using advanced data structures and dynamic memory.
2.
Describe the purpose of operating systems, their services and objects.
3.
Design C programs that make use of operating system services.
4.
Outline strategies for testing embedded C programs.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
It is proposed that a workplace engagement component will be introduced to this module via a guest lecturer from industry, an industrial site visit or a work-based assignment where possible.
