DE Embedded C++: Object-Oriented Programming for Microcontrollers with C++/EC++ and UML
Master the challenges in software development for hard real-time systems: Modern embedded systems with complex microcontroller and processor architectures incorporate more and more software that has to be planned and implemented faster than ever. In many cases, requirements need to be met which are subject to standards and safety-critical aspects. Real-time capability, reusability, adjustability to changing basic conditions and readability are key factors in software.

- Throughout the exercise (watch application), you will use the STM Arm microcontroller development kit along with a simulated hardware, based on an Arm Cortex®-M3 or M7 microcontroller respectively a suitable simulator. The exercise comprises both the program code and the related UML model.
- All participants have the following options to further use their exercises and the solutions developed by MicroConsult from this workshop:
- You take the files with you on a free USB stick provided by MicroConsult, or …
- You e-mail the files to your account, or …
- You get access to file download on request.
- You get all examples for C and C++ in electronic format and can easily adjust them to your development environment.
- You moreover get a tool and software component overview for developing embedded software.
- You get helpful notation overviews for UML (Unified Modeling Language) and SysML (Systems Modeling Language).
The EC++ workshop shows you how an object-oriented approach helps you develop higher-quality software in an embedded environment in a shorter time.
You get a compact overview of the entire development process of embedded real-time systems - software analysis, software design, software implementation and unit test - as a basis for you to implement projects with EC++.
You know how to design of software systems by using UML and implementation in the programming language C++.
You thus have the required knowledge base for meeting specific software quality requirements for embedded systems, e.g. regarding runtime and code efficiency.
Programming guidelines, such as the MISRA-C++ standard, moreover help you avoid programming errors at an early stage.
You can use state of the art object-oriented techniques to develop high-quality, complex software systems and, at the same time, save time and money.
The EC++ training addresses programmers, software developers, software designers and software architects who use C++ for embedded software applications based on object-oriented concepts.
A very good knowledge of C-programming is required; basic microcontroller knowledge of advantage.
