ARM Cortex-M3/M4 Software Design by Doulos Ltd

Product Description

This course is designed for hardware engineers and software engineers developing software for platforms based around the ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 cores. Including an introduction to the ARM product range and supporting IP, the course covers the ARM core range, programmer's model and instruction set architecture as well as the Cortex-M3/M4 debug architecture is also covered. The course includes a number of worked examples and hands-on practical exercises to reinforce the lecture material

Who should attend?

Software developers who wish to develop system and application software for ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 processor based systems.

Pre-requisites

An in-depth knowledge of microprocessors is not essential, but would be advantageous. However, all participants must be computer literate and should have a basic understanding of the programming language C.
