Online Embedded C-Level 0

Foundations of Embedded C and Time Triggered architectures

This course is targeted at recent engineering / science graduates who may have learned about traditional ‘Event Triggered’ (or interrupt-driven) embedded systems during their degree course. In this course, we introduce ‘Time Triggered’ (TT) architectures. Designs based on TT architectures are generally found to be more reliable than equivalent ET designs, which is why they are employed in products ranging from “white” goods, intruder-alarm systems and general monitoring systems through to industrial, automotive, medical and aerospace systems.

All the examples in this course are in the ‘C’ programming language.

Key features of this course

• A consistent focus on designing code that is safe and reliable.
• Course begins with the study of ARM architecture.
• A crash course on ‘C’ is included in the course itself, in case your skills are a little rusty.
• Use of KEIL IDE
  Creating a Simple Embedded OS; this is the starting point in learning about RTOS.
• Learning about a single interrupt approach to carry out different tasks.
• Internationally-recognized certificate provided for successful candidates.
• Boost your profile for Post Graduation in overseas universities.
• Open up career opportunities in mission critical industries.
• Program using STM32 ARM Cortex Mx simulation.

Course Objectives

After completing the course, participants should:

• Understand ARM Cortex M4 architecture.
• Use features of ‘C’ to create structured embedded code.
• Write code that is reliable and responsive.
• Be comfortable with designing code that adheres to timing constraints.
• Understand the necessity of an Embedded OS.
• Understand the ‘One Interrupt per Microcontroller Rule’ in the design of TT systems.
• Understand the basic building blocks of RTOS.
• Be ready to go to the next certification level .

Prerequisites
Familiarity with Windows OS, good knowledge of binary number system and digital electronics. Familiarity with ‘C’ language would be an advantage.
