ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe a set of tools to fully develop a real-time application under Linux using as target the LEGO® Mindstorms® NXT robotics kit. These tools provide Real-Time & Embedded systems teachers with an alternative to conventional software models designed in classrooms and labs.

Embedded, hard, real-time systems with Ada
SIGAda '09: Proceedings of the ACM SIGAda annual international conference on Ada and related technologiesDevelopment of real-time systems is expensive and difficult, in part because of low-level languages that force developers to use facilities that are ad hoc, incomplete, and not portable. The Real-Time Systems Annex of Ada 2005 (along with the language ...
