RT Concepts Course

Embedded Systems

Embedded computer systems are systems that include a CPU (processor) that performs various specific operations. Everyday systems such as mobile phones, handheld computers (PALM PILOT), remote controls, and more, belong to this category. In contrast to PCs, which are General Purpose systems, Embedded Systems are application-specific, which means they are primarily designed to optimally serve the required application. The architecture in these systems differs from PCs in terms of CPU capability and speed, System Bus speed, required memory (RAM/Flash), and more.

Real-Time Systems

Deterministic and consistent systems (not necessarily embedded computers) that are committed to processing information and providing responses within a deterministic and consistent timeframe. The course covers the main components involved in the development of embedded computer applications.

Additionally, it addresses challenges faced by development engineers, the process, and tools used in embedded application development. It also delves into the objects and services provided by a real-time operating system and how they are integrated into the application.

Who is the RT Concepts course for?

Software engineers, developers, programmers.
People who are interested in learning Embedded Systems development under the Linux operating system.
Embedded Bare-Board Engineers who wish to learn about developing device drivers under the Linux operating system.
Hardware engineers, software engineers, and computer scientists who are interested in gaining practical knowledge in the Linux kernel world.

What our graduates say

David M.
Embedded System course graduate

Embedded System engineer

Didn’t realy know what I wanted to focus on when applied but my career advisor laid the options down so we could see what’s a good fit for me professionally. I got into the embedded system program and feel good with this path.

Dima Solomianik
Real Time Embedded course graduate

RT Embedded Engineer, HP

After completing the course I moved onto the job interview preparation process in which I got valuable insights about what employers search for when seeking a talent to take on the role confident in the skills and experience I gained as a student. I got 3 high tech companies getting back to me to proceed to the next level

Alex K.
Real Time Embedded course graduate

Linux Kernel Developer

The Embedded systems course was very detailed and relevant as I got to work on actual client projects that show industry challenges. I now work as an embedded engineer and the skills I gained are directly applicable to my daily work.

David F.
Embedded System course graduate

Device Driver Developer

The real-time embedded program got deep into relevant industry challenges, and I got to apply new strategies I learned to streamline our development processes.

Liam S.
Real-Time Embedded course graduate

RTOS Specialist

I came into the real-time embedded course with limited coding experience, but the structured learning path and personalized mentorship made the transition seamless.
