This engineering specialization provides students with the fundamentals of embedded operating systems including a working understanding of how to configure and deploy a Linux based Embedded System.

One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...

Embedded system developers have a wide range of operating systems available to them today. Of course, the most straightforward operating system is to have no operating system! However, many systems ...

Have you and your team ever taken some time to sit down and define what your build system should be? I often see teams start a project with the loose idea that they ...

This course is used as the capstone in a three course sequence, including Linux System Programming and Introduction to Buildroot and Linux Kernel Programming and Introduction to Yocto Project. Both of ...

Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, ...

Every good hardware or software design starts with a structured approach throughout the design cycle, but as chip architectures and applications begin focusing on specific domains and include some ...

Every communication protocol should have a mechanism to determine whether the received data is valid. I once encountered a team that didn’t have such a mechanism. Their device operated in a ...

We’ve explored each element in detail except for secure storage in the previous posts. Today’s post will dive deeper into secure storage and how it applies to embedded systems. Secure storage is often ...

The functionality of embedded systems is becoming more and more sophisticated, and their real-time operation makes the debugging and verification of such systems extremely difficult to do in a ...
