Advanced Embedded Systems Development

• An understanding of electronics.
• C programming experience.
• Hardware (microcontroller, cables, etc.) and software (IDE, etc.) will be needed by all participants. Please consult with training coordinator for specific requirements.

Audience

• Electronics engineers
• Developers with knowledge of electronics

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to learn how to use embedded C to program various types of microcontrollers based on different processor architectures (8051, ARM CORTEX M-3, and ARM9).

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Course Customization Options
