Greetings everyone,

It gives me pleasure to announce that Aanjhan Rangathan, researcher at
EPFL Switzerland and Sudharshan S, developer for OpenMoko and
freesmartphone.org will be presenting talks this Saturday giving an
overview of embedded systems design and development.

Talk Details:
Aanjhan's talk will cover some basics of hardware design and how the
systems are put together, and then move on to insights on embedded
operating systems. Details on what goes behind
building an embedded system from the OS,to device drivers and
application software shall also be discussed. The case under study
would be RTEMS - a real time executive for multiprocessor systems
(previously missile systems), an operating system widely deployed on
various space
missions by both NASA and ESA.

With Sudharshan's talk on application development, we will move up the
embedded system development layers to touch upon, application
development with some live demos using the Freerunner Open Mobile
phone running the OpenMoko
platform and using the D-Bus architecture.

Details:
Venue: ChLT, IIT Madras
Time: 22nd August, Saturday 10.30 am
Duration: 1.5 to 2 hrs.
