Embedded Systems Online Lecture Series
November/December 2023
ATHENA is happy to anounce the Online Lecture Series "Embedded Systems" this autumn. It offers the opportunity to attend three motivating lectures on specific subjects within the field of Embedded Systems. They are held by international lecturers from the University of Vigo, VILNIUS TECH, and the University of Siegen within the framework of the ATHENA Competence Cluster "Embedded Systems".
The lectures are open to all interested students and (academic) staff. The invitation letter can be found here.
Embedded Systems enable real-time computer-aided control of physical devices and systems ranging from medical equipment to automotive engines, and industrial robots. They lead to tremendous benefits in safety, comfort, and energy efficiency. At the same time, there is a tremendous increase in complexity at the system level in the design of embedded systems (source: https://www.eti.uni-siegen.de/es/).
The three lectures provide space for students and academics to gain in-depth knowledge in:
16.11.23 | Linux and Android for Embedded Systems Assoc. Prof. Dr. Felipe José Gil Castiñeira |
17.11.23 | Safety-Relevant Adaptive Embedded Systems Prof. Dr. Roman Obermaisser |
12.12.23 | Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eldar Šabanovič Participation link |

Linux and Android for Embedded Systems | |
16 November 2023 | Assoc. Prof. Dr. Felipe Gil-Castiñeira |
Although Linux is not a real-time operating system, it became one popular alternative for embedded systems, being used both as an operating system, and as middleware platform for the implementation of applications. In this lecture, we will describe the boot process of a modern ARM CPU, and how Linux configures the system and starts. We will also describe the architecture of Android and how it can be used for implementing embedded systems. | |

In this 90-minute lecture, we will explore the fundamentals of Real-time Operating Systems (RTOS) and their pivotal role in embedded systems. Topics covered include the defining characteristics of RTOS, the distinction between hard and soft real-time systems, key scheduling algorithms, and popular RTOS examples in current applications. We will also touch upon the challenges faced in RTOS design and implementation. This lecture offers a comprehensive overview for anyone keen to understand the intricacies of real-time systems in the embedded domain. | |
