ThinkLABS comes up with a Comprehensive Course on Real Time Operating Systems. The course by means of case studies gives an insight to developing real time applications based on uC/OS-II, a DO178B certified hard real time kernel. It further goes onto compare RTOSes with Embedded operating systems and also dwells in to Embedded Linux, which is the most preferred and full-featured Embedded OS for consumer electronics applications

Batches starting after every 3 months . Typical duration Three months.

Highlights of the Course:

• 130 hours of certified practical training to give you a glimpse of different RTOSes in the embedded system industry.
• Exposure to RTOS (uC/OS-II) and Linux for embedded applications.




Course benefits:

• In-depth knowledge of embedded software and RTOS programming
• First hand prospect of working on high end projects
• Chance to become a potential embedded geek

Pre-requisites:

• The candidate must have prior work experience in the field of Embedded systems (specifically using Embedded C programming).
• The candidate must have some basic knowledge about data structures and why they are used (would be needed for RTOS).
• Candidate should be comfortable in C programming (especially w.r.t pointers and usage of functions).
• Hands-on knowledge on any AVR based micro-controller architecture would be an advantage (not compulsory).
• Knowledge of any general purpose OS with respect to system programming would be an added advantage (not compulsory).




Interested candidates will have to submit one page write-up about their work experience in Embedded Systems stating scope of work & projects handled.




Target Audience:

• Final/pre-final year students of B.E/B.Tech/ME/B.Sc/M.Sc
• Embedded system enthusiasts (undergrads, pass-outs)
• Embedded Working Professionals who want to upgrade their knowledge to Real Time Operating System




Course Details
Elaborate and module wise description of the course can be found below:

• Introductory session on uNiBoard usage
• Embedded Linux programming



The emphasis laid on implementation in an embedded environment in lieu of desktop (cross-platform) environment makes the course an ideal means to appreciate the complexities and challenges involved in an embedded project life cycle.
