Interfacing C-Programs with ARM Core Microcontrollers

Module 1 will introduce the learner to how software/firmware

can interface with an embedded platform and the underlying processor architecture.

Embedded Software engineers must be very knowledgeable about

the architecture in order to write efficient and bug free code.

This requires knowledge of processor architecture.

memory systems, microcontroller peripherals and more advanced use of the compiler.

This module will continue to enforce good software design techniques

with a focus on portability and maintainability without reducing your hardware’s performance.

Manipulating MemoryModule 2 will introduce the learner to more advanced firmware techniques

as well move us into some hands on firmware for the microcontroller.

We start by building our own memory access methods

that will allow a programmer to manipulate peripheral memory bit fields

to configure microcontroller peripherals and core architecture concepts.

This will include more complex use of pointers

for register definition files and function pointers for interrupt vector tables

The module concludes with an in-depth look into

the features of on-target debugging on a microcontroller and a hands-on example.

Designing Embedded Data StructuresModule 3 will introduce

the learner to efficient and maintainable ways of organizing data.

Most microcontroller programs require some use of structured data

in order to track and manipulate the control flow or data in a program.

These can be as simple as unions, enumerations or structures,

but can be more complex with the use of abstract data structures.

While abstract data structures are often discussed in higher level software,

there are many simple examples that are used frequently in embedded system software.
