Embedded and Real-Time Programming
Embedded C Training: Programming Methods and Tools for Embedded Applications - Face-to-Face Training
This training focuses on the hardware-near C-programming of 8, 16 or 32 bit microcontroller architectures. It shows you how to identify and avoid the pitfalls of C programming .You learn how to program a HW abstraction layer according to an architecture model. Operating system mechanisms and services are explained by programming a scheduler. You 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.
This training focuses on the hardware-near C-programming of 8, 16 or 32 bit microcontroller architectures.
You learn how to program a HW abstraction layer according to an architecture model. OS mechanisms and services are explained by programming a scheduler.
You get an overview of the entire lifecycle of a product - from the idea to project planning, SW development process, test planning, quality planning, acceptance, commissioning, operation and decommissioning.
You are able to efficiently develop programs for an embedded system in "C" according to the guidelines of modernsoftware engineering.
You are familiar with using pointers, function pointers and structures.
Based on your knowledge of programming/coding guidelines and software quality features, functional and non-functional requirements as well as internal quality and generate software that is reusable, extendable and easily tested.
In addition, you know all stages of a software development process, from the idea to system acceptance.
Software developers, software architects
A good understanding of ANSI-C and microcontroller architectures.
Essentials of Hardware-near C Programming
- Data types
- Pointers, function pointers
- Structures, linked lists
- Circular buffer, queues, FIFO, LIFO
- Programming rules and guidelines
- Pitfalls and stumbling blocks in C
Software Architecture
- Selection of a layered model based on requirements
- Communication between layers
- Synchronous and asynchronous interfaces
Driver Programming
- HW abstraction, driver programming: access to HW registers in "C"
- Interfaces, callback interfaces, queues
- Interrupt handling / service routines, callback function
Using Pointers, Function Pointers and Linked Lists
- Example: scheduler programming
- Task management as linked list
Programming a Finite State Machine FSM
