ARM Cortex-M3-M4 Hardware Design
ARM Training Course
Details on this training course are provided below. Please contact Support for information about booking any of ARM's training courses.
Summary:
This course is designed for those who are designing hardware based around the ARM Cortex-M3/M4 core. Including an introduction to the ARM product range and supporting IP, the course covers the ARMv7-M instruction set and exception handling, Cortex-M3/M4 implementation, power management, memory protection and AMBA on-chip bus architecture. The Cortex-M3/M4 debug architecture is also covered. The course includes a number of worked examples to reinforce the lecture material.
Prerequisites:
- Some knowledge of embedded systems
