Learn how to design and build Linux-based real-time system applications for digital media encode/decode and transport. Course focus is on the process as well as fundamentals of designing, coding, and testing Linux-based real-time systems often used in industry for digital media systems. Students use POSIX kernel-mapped threads and drivers to implement real-time digital media solutions. Prereqs., ECEN 1030 or CSCI 1300, and CSCI 3753 or equivalent. Restricted to engineering students. ECEN 4653 and 5653 are the same course.
