Description
Within the specialized embedded software community, there lurks much misinformation about software design for multitasking and the appropriate use of real-time operating system (RTOS) features, such as semaphores and mailboxes. This prevalent misinformation, along with programmer inexperience, contributes to poor task decomposition and often results in system failures such as task starvation, deadlock, and priority inversion. This course will help you avoid spending weeks or months debugging seemingly intractable multi-task interactions resulting from poor design. Get your software running properly with this hands-on, in depth course about the proper use of Micriµm’s µC/OS-II RTOS API with exercises on an ARM9 development kit from IAR and STMicro.
Instructor
Michael Barr is an internationally recognized expert on the design of embedded computer systems. In that role, he has provided expert witness testimony in federal court, appeared on PBS’ American Business Review, and been quoted in various newspapers. He is also the author of two books and more than forty articles on related subjects. For three and a half years Michael served as editor-in-chief of Embedded Systems Programming. In addition, Michael has been a member of the advisory board of the Embedded Systems Conference. Software he wrote continues to power millions of products, ranging from consumer electronics to medical devices. Michael holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering and has lectured on operating systems use in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland.
Detailed Outline
Designing Applications with µC/OS-II trains firmware engineers in the proper use of C and real-time operating system APIs to develop multithreaded software. The course is delivered as a series of lectures and hands-on exercises; the lectures comprise approximately 2/3 of total class time and the exercises the remaining 1/3.

Description
This class describes TCP/IP processes using demos and examples on a target running an application using a TCP/IP stack, a local Ethernet network and analysis tools on a PC. Demonstrations exercise all the layers, and follow the processes through each layer of the TCP/IP stack. We will look at TCP/IP from an embedded systems perspective. Because not every embedded system requires all of the TCP/IP protocol features, the class will examine the impact of different protocol features on code size and performance. A special attention is given to configuration to achieve optimal performance with TCP because it is often believed that TCP/IP can run on any target. This prevalent misinformation, along with programmer inexperience, contributes to poor performance and often results in system failures such as buffer starvation, lots of retransmission, and packet drop. This course will help you avoid spending weeks or months debugging seemingly intractable protocol interactions resulting from poor design. Get your software running properly with this hands-on, in depth course about the proper use of a TCP/IP stack with exercises on an ARM9 development kit from IAR and STMicro.
Instructor
Christian Legare has a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada. In his 22 years in the telecom industry, he was involved as an executive in large scale organizations as well as start-ups, mainly in Engineering and R&D. Christian was recently in charge of an IP (Internet Protocol) certification program at the International Institute of Telecom (IIT) in Montreal, Canada as their IP systems expert. Mr. Legare joined Micrium, home of µC/OS-II, The Real-Time Kernel, as Vice-President in 2002, mainly to supervise the development of embedded communication modules, including TCP/IP.
