• Participants will learn to configure and install necessary development tools (work environment), employ a Cross compiler for compiling source files into Binary files for Embedded systems, and execute them on development boards.
• Usage of Debug Tools for bug detection.

The Embedded Course imparts the essential knowledge needed to work with ARM Cortex M3/M4/M7 Processor-based Embedded Systems.

The course specifically focuses on modern Peripheral Devices commonly used in the industry, including:

• ARM Processor Architecture - Working principles, Conventional Registers.
• Dealing with hardware registers.
• General Purpose Input Output (GPIO).
• High-resolution Timers.
• Pulse-width modulation (PWM).
• Communication protocols usage, such as Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter Communication (UART), The Inter Integrated Circuit (I2C), and Serial Programming Interface (SPI).
• Interrupt Controller.
• Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).
• Memory Management Unit (MMU).
• Network interface Driver.
• And more Embedded topics.

The course involves hands-on development of numerous exercises and solutions, including writing device drivers using ARM architecture-based development boards.

ARM Embedded Systems Development

ARM (originally Acorn RISC Machine) is an instruction set architecture for RISC processors developed by ARM Holdings. Today, numerous component manufacturers (such as Samsung, Motorola, ST) rely on the ARM architecture. A wide variety of processors utilize this core, forming the foundation for Embedded Systems products in various industries and daily life, including smart controllers, alarm systems, smartphones, tablets, and more.

ARM processors come in various architectures, ranging from microcontrollers (like ARM-7) through Cortex processors to powerful multi-core processors.

Real-Time Development in the Embedded Course

The ARM course is a part of the essential knowledge required for Real-Time engineers. Students interested in further studies after the course can choose to participate in Real-Time Development tracks. Embedded and Real-Time Embedded development tracks are among the most sought-after tracks in the industry. Each year, there are thousands of job openings for individuals with expertise in these fields, and the conditions are excellent with above-average salaries.
