• Course Type:  Hardware & Software

• Course Length:  4 day(s)

Summary:

This course takes an in depth look at all the elements you will need to take into account when designing a system containing an ARM Cortex-A9 or Cortex-A9MP core.
This course also tackles all the knowledge required in order to understand the behavior of, and efficiently use, an ARM Cortex-A9 or Cortex-A9MP based system.

Prerequisites:

• A basic awareness of the ARM is recommended especially the knowledge of ARM v4T and v5TE instruction sets
• A basic understanding of microprocessors and microcontrollers is recommended
• A basic understanding of digital logic or hardware / ASIC design issues would be useful but not essential
• A basic understanding of assembler or C programming would be useful but not essential
• A basic awareness ARM cores is useful but not essential

Audience:

This training is designed for:
• Software engineers who not only want to obtain details on how to write software to run on the Cortex-A9 or Cortex-A9MP, but also wish to obtain an understanding of hardware design issues
• Hardware engineers who need to understand how to design Cortex-A9 or Cortex-A9MP based systems, but also wish to obtain an understanding of the issues of writing software to run on that system
