Summary |
---|
The subject deals with advanced implementation methods that are used with modern ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. The course includes methods implemented on selected microcontroller and students can learn these methods in laboratory exercises. Subject contains the development of applications using GNU tools, the use of linker scripts, details of ARM Cortex-M architecture, the construction of the start-up code, instruction set, and implementation in the assembly language. |
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
---|
The subject aim is to extend student knowledge in the area of implementation for embedded systems containing microcontroller. The content of the lectures is the advanced methods that are used in professional design in engineering practice. Laboratory exercises are devoted to practical skills that enable the student to acquire the taught methods. After completing the course, students are able to manage the required scenarios to the microcontroller using a comprehensive solution approach. |
