and Real-Time Operating Systems

Slides HT 2006

This page contains the lecture series and links to the slides to be used in the lectures and lab lessons of 2006. The references to the course book relate to the 7th edition of the book (2005). You may use the 5th or 6th edition, but note that some chapters have been added, removed or rewritten in later editions.

Lectures

Note 1: We offer an introductory lecture into C and C++, (programming, compiling, and linking) for students with a background in Java programming. This lecture (Fo2) is optional. It is intended mainly for those who have never before programmed in C or C++, in order to alleviate the start of the lab series, which uses C/C++ as lab programming language. If you know C or are taking or have taken the course TDDB89 Advanced programming in C++, you may skip this lecture.

Note 2: There will be 2 lectures for TDDB72 covering Real Time systems specifically, and they are planned as Fo10 and Fo11 at the end of HT1. These lectures are optional for TDDB68.
Lecture 12 (early in HT2) introduces the TDDB72 real-time project and is for TDDB72 students only.

Note3: Some lectures (e.g., 1-4 and 8) will, to some detail, recapitulate computer architecture concepts that are needed for enabling operating system functionality, as not all participants have taken computer architecture courses such as TSEA20 and TDTS55.

Note 4: The slide material will be made available before the corresponding lecture and may be subject to updates without notice.
