Description
This module builds on the knowledge learned in Embedded Programming module. It will cover many standard programming concepts and the fundamental building blocks of an operating system with a specific focus on the embedded system environment.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Evaluate the specific resources of an embedded system for coding purposes
2.
Describe and use the essential and optional functionality provided by an OS
3.
Employ the appropriate mechanisms for accessing shared resource and allowing code to be re-entrant
4.
Demonstrate an understanding of and motivation for key OS service function implementations
5.
Design programs that make use of operating system services
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
Module Assessment Strategies
Continuous Assessment
Written assessments during term
Practical assignments
Final Examination
End of year exam - may contain practical element
Repeat Assessments
This has a 60% final exam. In the event of CA not been submitted for valid reason, the lecturer can at his/her discretion set repeat CA
