A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.
NI-OLI Linux Drivers Extent of teaching: 2P+2C Instructor: Skrbek M. Completion: Z,ZK Department: 18103 Credits: 4 Semester: L Annotation:
The Linux operating system is an important operating system for personal computer and also for embedded systems. Systems on chip and combining powerful processors and FPGAs increase the variability of peripheral subsystems requiring specific software drivers. This course is an advanced course in the Linux driver development for master's students. The course provides knowledge of Linux operating system architecture, principles of development of various types drivers, including practical experience.
Lecture syllabus:
1. Linux kernel 2. x86 and ARM processor platforms 3. Memory management and DMA 4. Input/output and interrupts 5. Parallelism in the kernel, synchronization 6. Virtual file systems 7. Kernel modules: structure, development, debugging 8. Character devices 9. Block devices 10. PCI driver 11. USB drivers 12. Network drivers 13. Multimedia drivers Seminar syllabus:
Various types of drivers are developed in labs. The labs are organized as a set of tasks solved by students within the semester. Both x86 and ARM platforms are involved.Literature:
