    Welcome to the Embedded Real-Time Systems!

    Exercise sessions take place most Fridays (see calendar bellow) @10:15AM

    Course Zoom link: https://aalto.zoom.us/j/68521255437

    This course is led by Ivan Vujaklija (ivan.vujaklija@aalto.fi,  Office F306, Rakentajanaukio 2c)

    This year’s course will be conducted in a hybrid format (combination of in person and remote accessible materials)  and will consist of lectures and exercises.

    MyCourses, email, Zoom, and a potential yet to be determined chat platform will be main communication tools for the course, however participants are encouraged to utilize any other means of communication that they might find useful for supporting their own work.

    All handouts for the course will be uploaded in the Materials section of the page (on your left) according to the schedule. All video materials as well as Zoom links for the online contact sessions will be posted timely here in both Materials section and via the Forum (see below).

    Throughout the course, participants are also at liberty to use electronics workshop (sähköpaja) at Maarintie 8 (ground floor, room 1558), if they see fit.

    Intended Learning Outcomes

    After successfully completing this course, the participants are able to:

    • Present the general structure and principal implementation of embedded systems
    • Describe the fundamental characteristics and associated design issues of real-time systems
    • Outline the central computer architecture concepts from the perspective of the real-time systems designer
    • Apply different memory technologies, input/output techniques, and peripherals for embedded systems
    • Conceptually program and evaluate real-time embedded systems for a certain application

    Assessment Methods and Criteria

    • Nine weekly online assignments (45%)
    • Exam (55%) - 09/12/2022, 09:00h - 12:00h

    • Extra: Introductory assignment (2%)

    Study Material

    Course extensively relies on the following book:

    P. A. Laplante and S. J. Ovaska, Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis: Tools for the Practitioner, 4th Edition. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, 2012, Chapters 1–3

    which is available to all Aalto students as an e-book via the publisher: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9781118136607
    In addition, lecture videos, notes, and handouts will, over time, be made available in the Materials section of the MyCourse page.
