• Resumen

  • The engineering education for embedded systems requires a suitable environment for practices and experiments. This kind ofenvironment usually consists of a lot of hardware and software, so there is a pressing need to organize and manage all resources in aproper way to enable convenient access. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a remote laboratory, aiming at theengineering education for embedded systems. This remote laboratory is built based on open source software and network technologies.It enables teachers to organize theoretical and practical contents in an easy way and students to communicate with teachers and takepractical operations conveniently. The core of this remote laboratory is for students to learn in groups or by individual with the relatedresources as the interactive medium to guide, prompt and assist the learning and training procedure. With this environment, studentscan be located remotely while access real hardware devices easily. Meanwhile, it keeps the embedded development setup as a whole ingood maintenance.
