This document outlines the questions that will be asked in an examination for a fourth year embedded and real-time systems course. It covers topics such as distributed control computer (DCC) systems, unified modeling language (UML) for embedded system design, ARM processor functions, microcontroller peripherals, data flow graphs, loop optimizations, scheduling algorithms, real-time operating systems (RTOS), distributed embedded systems, and more. Students will be asked short questions to test their knowledge, as well as longer questions involving diagrams and explanations of concepts.
