SPC560X: 32-Bit Power Architecture®

Training Objectives

You know the Power Architecture with the SOC implementation of STMicroelectronics, the on-chip periphery (basic and special peripheral modules) and features of the SPC56x family. You are able to program low-level drivers for this hardware and test them with a debugger. Moreover, you can generate routines for DMA, interrupts and exceptions.

Required Knowledge

Knowledge of ANSI-C as well as experience with programming a microcontroller architecture. Knowledge of DSP is an advantage.

Target Group

Hardware and software architects, hardware and software developers, test engineers
