Biography

  • Eng. Mostafa Ahmed Saleh is a senior student at the Faculty of Engineering,   Alexandria University, Department of Communications and Electronics.
Course Info.

  • This is a Real time operating system (RTOS) course, the course focuses on RTOS concepts, features, and APIs.
    It does not focus much on real time systems design.
    The first part of the course focuses on RTOS generally, and explains its basic concepts, it consists of 10 sessions.
    The second part focuses on a certain RTOS which is FreeRTOS, it consists of 12 sessions and 9 labs using TIVA C within them.
