Pont M.J. Programming Embedded Systems II: A 10-week course, using C

University of Leicester, 2003. — 349 p.Overview of this seminar:This introductory seminar will:
Provide an overview of this course
Describe the design and implementation of a flexible schedulerOverview of this course:This course is primarily concerned with the implementation of software (and a small amount of hardware) for embedded systems constructed using more than one microcontroller.
The processors examined in detail will be from the 8051 family.All programming will be in the ‘C’ language.By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Design software for multi-processor embedded applications based on small, industry standard, microcontrollers;
Implement the above designs using a modern, high-level programming language (‘C’), and
Understand more about the effect that software design and programming designs can have on the reliability and safety of multi-processor embedded systems.
