Embedded Hardware and Operating Systems is an engaging course that delves into the practical aspects of programming and creating IoT applications. Through four modules, participants will gain a deep understanding of embedded systems, hardware components, operating systems, and simulation using Cooja.
The course begins with an exploration of embedded hardware, covering design characteristics, input/output devices, and wire communication. Participants will have the opportunity to build their own input/output system and ADC using Arduino, enhancing their practical skills.
Module 2 focuses on the processing elements of embedded systems, comparing embedded processors and FPGAs. It provides a practical comparison of micro-controller platforms and reconfigurable platforms, enabling learners to make informed decisions in their projects.
In Module 3, participants gain an overview of operating systems and embedded operating systems, including in-depth explorations of Linux kernel functions, microkernels, and various embedded operating systems such as Contiki, TinyOS, and RIOT OS.
The final module, Module 4, delves into Contiki OS and Cooja simulation. Participants will learn about Contiki's kernel architecture, communication in Contiki, and engage in hands-on activities to estimate energy consumption using Cooja simulation.
Throughout the course, participants will have the opportunity to test their knowledge with graded quizzes, engage in module discussions, and complete a peer-reviewed programming assignment. Optional assignments are also available for those who want to explore wireless sensor network applications further.
