Real-Time Introduction
The Real-Time Introduction curriculum is intended for beginners in the real-time development environment. It is a comprehensive investigation of the requirements of real-time systems including explanations of various related topics.  Embedded systems, real-time system characteristics, hard versus soft real-time, criticality are all examined in this section. It also compares the differences between a real-time operating system and a real-time executive by demonstrating the capabilities and benefits of each.  This introduction discusses the tremendous benefits of portable code and explains the different levels of portability.  Cross development is another important aspect of embedded systems dealt with in this class. This explanation includes discussions of host versus target platforms as well as cross development tool-sets like GNU.  The Real-Time Introduction concludes with a section illustrating the concepts behind real-time tasking design, which defines a real-time task and its attributes such as priority and concurrency. After completion of the real-time overview, this class moves into the RTEMS Classic class, which is outlined below. These class components when combined offer an enormous amount of knowledge in the real-time programming field, and enable understanding of the logic behind such systems.

 
 
RTEMS Classic
The RTEMS Classic class is primarily devoted to the teaching of the RTEMS proper, while under the assumption that students have a basic understanding of real-time systems, their benefits and capabilities. This class focuses on RTEMS beginning with a high-level architectural description and then proceeding on to the more specific routines and methodologies of RTEMS. Issues such as memory management, tasking, timing, communication and synchronization are presented and the methods RTEMS invokes to handle these topics are explained.  Also included in this curriculum are the underlying services that are necessarily provided for RTEMS to build and run properly.  These services include the configuration, initialization, interrupts, I/O and fatal error handling, and user extensions of RTEMS.  Lastly, this class covers a section concerning common difficulties related to the debugging and performance of systems.  Upon completion of RTEMS Classic, the developer will have gained significant knowledge into the makeup and execution of RTEMS.
