To pass, you must be able to:

  • develop embedded software of high quality using high level programming in e.g. C
  • develop embedded systems based on real time operating systems
  • develop software on embedded hardware platforms taking limitations such as memory size, processor capacity, and bandwidth into account
  • develop correct and efficient software using fault detection and other test systems.
