1. CSCI1600: Embedded and Real Time Software Steven Reiss Fall 2015

2. What is CSCI1600  Purpose: Teach how to program embedded and real time systems.  What is an embedded system  What is a real time system  Why are they important

3. Why are these systems important  Everything today has embedded processor  How many CPUs are in a modern car?  Other examples

4. What are the differences  RT/Embedded  Emphasis on I/O  Predictability  Reliability  Fault tolerance  Worst case time  Control-oriented  Timing essential  Traditional  User interfaces  Performance  Maintainability  Error messages  Expected time  Data oriented  Timing unimportant

5. The Course  Learn the underlying concepts  Learn the underlying theory (modeling, verification, …)  Writing embedded and real time code  An interesting project of your choice

6. Course Mechanics  Staff  Office hours  Assignments  Programming/hardware homeworks  One embedded, one real-time  Readings  Text: Lee & Seshia: Intro to Embedded Systems (2 nd ed)  Written homeworks  Project  Exam

7. Grading  15% for each programming homework  45% for project  15% for final exam  10% for homeworks, participation, etc.

8. Project  Monday 9/14: Short presentation of ideas  Monday 9/21: Initial project idea hand-in w/ budget  Monday 9/28: Final project idea hand-in w/ budget  Friday 10/16: Initial status reports due  Monday 10/26: Project status presentations  Monday 11/23: Project status reports  Wednesday 12/4: Project presentations  Friday 12/11: Project final hand-in

9. Project Ideas  You are more creative than I am  Pinball, model trains  Hand-held or table-top game  Controlling model car or helicopter  Morse code listener  Internet of Things: alarm clock, …  Smart clothing  Robotics

10. Hardware  We are using Arduinos for homeworks  Purchase your own (we have some to lend)  We will get a shopping list of parts needed  For final projects

11. Assignment  Read chapter 1  Take a common device in your home/apartment/life/…  Describe what the embedded software does and how it might work  You don’t have to be accurate – I’d rather you think about how you might accomplish what it does rather than looking up what it really does
