Description

The Introduction to Nucleus PLUS course is intended to give developers a general understanding of the Nucleus PLUS operating system, and a thorough understanding in the use of Nucleus PLUS to develop real-time pplications. Topics covered include real-time operating system fundamentals and the Nucleus PLUS interface. When finished with the course, developers should be familiar enough with Nucleus PLUS to begin working on developing real-time applications using the Nucleus PLUS API.  This course is not intended to cover hardware specific porting issues (aside from a high-level discussion of what functionality is contained in the hardware specific source code files).  All hands-on course work (examples and training application implementation) will be done with ATIs prototyping software Nucleus MNT on a Windows XP platform. 

You will learn how to

  • Create and manage Nucleus tasks
  • Use Nucleus communication components for passing data between tasks
  • Use Nucleus synchronization components to synchronize task operation
  • Configure and manage memory usage by tasks
  • Create and use task-independent timers
  • Manage interrupt handling in your Nucleus PLUS application
  • Use the Nucleus I/O driver interface in your application
  • Change how the Nucleus PLUS library is compiled and configured

Hands-On labs

Throughout the class, you will examine and run examples of all the Nucleus components.  At the end of the class, you will write a Nucleus PLUS application that uses most of the Nucleus components.
