Modern embedded systems demand sophisticated build architectures and platform integration strategies. This Short Course was created to help Computer Systems Engineering and Architecture professionals master advanced embedded toolchains and concurrency optimization. By completing this course, you'll configure production-ready cross-compiled builds, generate custom Linux images, and implement lock-free concurrency patterns that eliminate priority inversion in real-time systems.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
• Apply CMake or Bazel toolchains to configure a cross-compiled build that packages HAL, middleware, and application layers for an ARM target
• Analyze Yocto layer and recipe dependencies to generate a reproducible custom Linux image for a multi-repo platform
• Evaluate concurrency model options to recommend threading and locking patterns that mitigate priority inversion in an embedded service
This course is unique because it combines hands-on build system mastery with advanced concurrency analysis, addressing real-world ARM platform challenges.
To be successful in this project, you should have experience with C/C++ development and embedded system fundamentals.
