TC17x6/TC17x7: Practical Application of TriCore® Specific Peripherals

Training Objectives

You can assess the possible applications of TriCore® specific peripherals of the TC17x6/TC17x7 derivatives. You are able to generate driver routines, implement these in a project and test them with a debugger.

Required Knowledge

Basic knowledge of microcontrollers and the TriCore® architecture as covered in the training "TriCore®: Architecture, Peripherals and Embedded Programming®.
