DE Embedded C++ Advanced: Object-Oriented Programming for Microcontrollers with C++/EC++
The growing complexity of embedded software applications and the ever increasing performance of hardware has resulted in C++ being more and more used in embedded systems. Depending on the application, quality features like safety and security, performance, resource consumption etc. have to be taken into account.

- You will use the Arm Keil MDK (microcontroller development kit) along with real or simulated hardware, based on an Arm Cortex®-M3 microcontroller throughout the exercise (watch application).
- Participants can download their exercises and the solutions developed by MicroConsult for this workshop.
- You get all C++ examples in electronic format and can easily adjust them to your development environment.
- You get a checklist with scalable recommendations for using C++ in embedded software.
- You get a tool and software component overview for developing embedded software.
- You get helpful notation overviews for UML and SysML.
You know the application and efficiency of advanced C++ constructs (namespaces, templates, exception handling, runtime type identification, new style casts, multiple inheritance, memory management).
You are able to make informed decisions on using these constructs in your application.
You have an overview of the elements and mechanisms of the STL (Standard Template Library) and can use them.
You can adapt patterns (state patterns, Singleton patterns, observer patterns, smart pointer patterns and layer patterns) to your applications and implement them.
The EC++ advanced training addresses programmers, software developers, software designers and software architects who use advanced C++ constructs in embedded software development.
Basic knowledge of object oriented C++ is a must; basic knowledge of UML of advantage.
