Abstract

To reach a more widespread use, WCET analysis tools
need to be a standard part in the education of embedded
systems developers. Many real-time courses in academia
use Lego Mindstorms, an off-the-shelf kit of Lego bricks
for building and controlling small prototype robots. We
describe work on porting the Bound-T WCET analysis
tool to the Lego Mindstorms microprocessor; the Renesas
H8/3292. We believe that this work will make students, and
indirectly the industry of tomorrow, aware of the benefits of
WCET analysis tools.
We also present the real-time laboratory framework in
which this WCET analysis tool will be used. The framework
has been developed with schedulability and timing
predictability in mind, and is already used in a number of
real-time courses given at M¨alardalen University in Sweden.
The developed WCET tool and the real-time laboratory
framework will be freely available for academic use.
