Course Preamble

Course Objective

The objective of the course is to introduce the embedded system concepts, ARM Microcontrollers and Embedded C Programming. This course covers the advanced topics in ‘C’ such as Memory management, Pointers, Data structures which are of high relevance in embedded software is considered in depth. This module makes use of KEIL C Compiler along with ARM Cortex Microcontrollers.

This module covers the architecture of the popular ARM Microcontroller. The ARM Cortex processor is the industry-leading 32-bit processor for highly deterministic real-time applications, specifically developed to enable partners to develop high-performance low-cost platforms for a broad range of devices including microcontrollers, automotive body systems, industrial control systems and wireless networking and sensors.

Course Outcome

After successful completion of the course, the student shall be able to:

• Develop Embedded application using Embedded C Programming
• Use ARM Cortex M with Embedded C Programming for Application Development

Course Structure

Course duration is 4 weeks
