Question

I’m taking an introductory course (3 months) about real time systems design, but any implementation.

I would like to build something that let me understand better what I’ll learn in theory, but since I have never done any real time system I can’t estimate how long will take any project. It would be a concept proof project, or something like that, given my available time and knowledge.

Please, could you give me some idea? Thank you in advance.

I programm in TSQL, Delphi and C#, but I’ll not have any problem in learning another language.

Answer 1

Try to think of real-time tasks that are time-critical, for instance video-playing, which fails if tasks are not finished (e.g. calculating the next frame) in time.

You can also think of some industrial solutions, but they are probably more difficult to study in your local environment.
