Embedded software primer
An embedded software primer is typically focused on implementation of embedded systems using an RTOS and cross development tools. The topics which should be covered include:
1. What is an embedded system?
1. What is a real-time system?
2. What is a signal processing system?
3. What is digital signal processing?
4. What are the main uses of DSP?
5. Examples of Embedded Systems
6. Examples of Real-Time Systems
7. Examples of DSP systems.
2. Architecture of Embedded Systems
1. Software Architectures
2. Hardware Architectures
3. Hardware Options and Issues
1. Interrupts and interrupt response
