Programming and Interfacing ARM Cortex-M Microcontrollers

Course id: 0044

Synopsis

ARM cores are at the heart of most mid-to-high end electronics devices, such as smartphones, tablets and routers. ARM's customers, such as Infineon, AMD, Atmel, Energy Micro, NXP, Broadcom etc., shipped a reported 7.9 billion ARM processors, representing 95% of processors used in smartphones, 90% in hard disk drives, 40% in digital televisions/set-top boxes and 20% in mobile computers, in 2011. Its ubiquitousity is primarily due to its efficient (code density and power wise) processing core coupled with easy migration paths.

This course provides an introduction to the STM32F103ZE ARM Cortex-M3 processor and instruction sets. It emphasises on bare-metal programming (i.e. no operating system support) and interfacing with the peripheral. Participants would be introduced to the CMSIS standard and the ST Microelectronics Standard Peripheral Library.

What you will learn

This course concentrates on the theoretical and practical knowledge to allow participants to achieve the following learning outcomes. Upon completing the course, participants would be able to:
  • Know the ARM Cortex-M core architecture
  • Familiarise and use the suitable development tools
  • Understand and use the CMSIS standard and ST Microelectronic's Standard Peripheral Library for code portability and reusability
  • Configure and use the interrupt system
  • Configure and use the on-board peripherals

Who should attend

This course is particularly suited for engineers who would like to know the ARM architecture and/or required to program them in OS-less environments.

Prerequisite

Participants are required to know how to program in C, and have a general understanding of processor architecture.

Course methodology

This course is presented in a workshop style with example-led lectures interlaced with demonstrations and hands-on practical for maximum understanding.

Course duration

4 days.
