During main Courses (realise by extern engineer from AIR LIQUIDE, with demonstrations on biomedical market products) :
- Reminders about architecture and functionning of digital processor (CPU, SRAM, Flash, IRQ, ISR, etc)
- Services and tools offer by an Operating System (illustration on GNULinux)
- Definition of "Real Time" concept
- Role of scheduler and scheduling strategies
- Design and definition of embedded software architecture
- Analysis and writing of technicals specifications

During Practical Works (development of testing applications, and port of bluetooth application on RTOS) :
- Scheduling strategies (cooperative and preemptive)
- Model and logical segmentation of memory
- robutness and hardening of a program (tests, exceptions, assertions, segmentations overflows, etc)
- protection, communication and synchronization tools (mutex, critical section, semaphore, message queue, etc)
- Drivers development with system calls
- Introduct
Practical work (TD or TP)
- Discovery of software services offer by a RTOS (technical illustration on FreeRTOS)
- Porting of a baremetal bluetooth application on market FreeRTOS
