• Course Type:  Hardware & Software

• Course Length:  1 day(s)

Summary:

This courses focuses on the difference between ARM Cortex-M4 cores and Cortex-M3 cores.
• Identifying the similarities which allow high re-usability
• Identifying the new features implemented on the Cortex-M4(F) to accelerate DSP-like algorithms
• Identifying the new features implemented on the Cortex-M4(F) to accelerate floating point algorithms

Prerequisites:

• A basic awareness of the ARM Cortrex-M3 is highly recommended
• 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 of other ARM cores is useful but not essential

Audience:

This course has been designed for attendees already familiar with the ARM Cortex-M3 core.
