ES-03 Embedded Skills (Intermediate Level)

This course teaches intermediate embedded skills for working with embedded systems, including software development and C++ programming. It covers programming the ARM Cortex microcontroller, a powerful 32-bit microcontroller, and its modularised programmes and OOP architecture. The knowledge gained will be applied in the Advanced Level course.

Learning Outcome

• Outline Importance of software development process when writing code
• Write embedded system software in C++ programming language
• Describe the architecture of ARM Cortex microcontroller
• Understand and create class diagrams
• Control GPIO pins on the ARM device
• Debug and test codes running on the arm device
• Handle external and timer interrupts
• Perform serial communications with external devices
• Create timers to perform periodic actions
• Read analog voltage using ADC
• Generate PWM pulses using analog output
• Explain Memory Access
• Explain Basic RTOS concept
• Use embedded solution as external plugin to PLC

Methodology

This course will be conducted in a workshop fashion, whereby the basic theory and concepts will be presented, followed by hands-on practice and exercises.

Pre-requisite

Participants would preferably have attended the Embedded Skills (Fundamental Level) course.

Duration

4 Days

Target Group (who should attend)
