Development of Real-Time Systems

This course is all about practical programming and problem-solving! After completing this course, you will have the knowledge to plan and set up a real-time system both on paper and in practice. The course centres around the problem of achieving timing correctness in embedded systems, which means guaranteeing that the system reacts within the real-time requirements. Examples of such systems include airbags, emergency brakes, avionics, and also multimedia systems like video playback and QoS in web servers. The course teaches how to plan real-time systems, in theory, using established mathematical proofs and how to implement them in practice by using the most common scheduling methods. We also learn how to program the system in the C language using the FreeRTOS real-time kernel. Finally, we have a look at the future of real-time systems, namely multi-core real-time systems! This course focuses on the learn-by-doing approach with many examples and real-world programming assignments. We have 5 modules, each with a gentle, graded quiz at the end and one peer-reviewed programming assignment. In case you have no experience with C programming, please check out a practical course like: https://www.coursera.org/learn/arduino-platform The course is actually quite fun! -Simon Holmbacka / Åbo Akademi University Ideate.

Course is good. The only point is some more help should be provided with the tools that are being told for the assignment.

Excellent introductory course to RTOS. Although the course is very theoretical, it is very clear and gives you the tools to continue learning on your own or to take more advanced courses.

Great course, sometimes hard to follow for newbies. Some instructions are a bit ambiguous or unclear.

Good mixture of theoretical and practical applications. Could use access to course slides, and maybe a larger practical assignment.

Real-Time systems are very demanded nowadays. Excellent course to review some aspects in this field or to learn everything from the beginning.

It was indeed a very good course, but it would be best if it taught coding from basics too!!

I feel having in depth analysis on various scheduling algorithms would be helpful. I have learnt many things from this course.

It was good amount of leaning new things related to RTOS. This course gives you knowledge to design and choose the RTOS based on your requirement of the project.

Concepts of Real Time Systems explained nicely.Though FreeRTOS software needs to be explained in little depth.

More Tutorial for Programming should have been given. Otherwise, the course was very nice and informative.
