About the Program

In today’s increasing global market place, successful companies are finding that investments in
hardware and software are no longer enough to maintain a competitive edge. Human elements
with specialized engineering and design skills have become the essential part of the equation.
Given the complex tasks that today’s computing devices are required to perform, it’s
crucial that the operating systems that drive them are stable, fast and efficient. This
course provides foundational materials on RTOS for embedded applications, including
task scheduling, memory allocation and resource management. The objective of the course
is to give students solid introductory knowledge on Real-Time OS and how to develop
applications using RTOS. Learners gain an understanding of the RTOS architecture and
acquire the practical skills involved in building an embedded system solutions using
FreeRTOS. As a part of this course, we are introducing a remote hardware Lab, and the
participants will be able to do the experiments using this platform. This course can be very
useful for UG as well as PG students, along with research scholars in the initial phases of their
PhD study and course work.
