Embedded Components has created a new series of online lectures with
integrated discussion/blog on real-time embedded development. This new
distance learning portal is free to engineers who would like to learn
and commutate with others including the sponsors of each lecture. The
first three lectures are on: real-time hardware/software design (using
Actors), developing real-time software on constrained systems using
rate-monotonic analysis (RMA), and an introduction to native file
sharing across multiple embedded and desktop operating systems using
the common internet file system (CIFS).
