MVD Training
ARM Cortex-M4 System Design
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-M4 core. This course also tackles all the knowledge required in order to understand the behavior of, and efficiently use, an ARM Cortex-M4 based system.
Prerequisites:
• 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-M4, but also wish to obtain an understanding of hardware design issues • Hardware engineers who need to understand how to design Cortex-M4 based systems, but also wish to obtain an understanding of the issues of writing software to run on that system
