Embedded C: Programming Methods and Tools
Training Objectives
This training focuses on the hardware-near C-programming of 8, 16 or 32 bit microcontroller architectures. You will learn how to program a hardware abstraction layer according to a specific architecture model. Operating system mechanisms and services are explained by programming a scheduler. The use of pointers and structures is trained in detail. You will get an overview of the whole lifecycle of a product - from the idea to project planning, software development process, test planning, quality planning, acceptance, commissioning, operation and decommissioning.
Required Knowledge
A good understanding of ANSI-C and basic microcontroller knowledge.
