Abstract Details

2013, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering and Applied Science: Computer Engineering.
Students with an interest in embedded systems come from a variety of backgrounds: EE, COMPE, CS, Telecommunications, etc. The students may be on-campus students or distance learning students. In particular, they have different levels of expertise in hardware and software and they will work or do research in a variety of settings, with many different system environments. For an embedded systems course to serve all the aforementioned groups, the course material has to follow an approach from hardware to software illustrating general concepts as well as practical experience. The course should be self-contained and flexible enough to support distance learning courses as well. However, there do not exist teaching materials at the appropriate levels and sufficiently detailed to properly train beginning students in the many areas they need to master. This thesis attempts to remedy that lack in the area of real time operating systems (RTOS). The proposed RTOS tutorials on an embedded, FPGA-based development platform will start with specifying the necessary hardware system then progress to the RTOS application. The necessary operating system (OS) and real time operating system (RTOS) concepts will be introduced to facilitate successful RTOS application development. The RTOS tutorials will be built upon the Altera Nios II soft-core processor and the Micrium MicroC/OS II RTOS utilizing RTOS concepts that can be applied to different RTOS's and embedded platforms.
