De theorie in de cursus wordt afgewisseld door hands-on training op een Texas Instruments MSP430 ontwikkel kit. De MSP430 is een moderne 16 bits micro-controller met een zeer laag energie verbruik.

Programma tijdens de training:

Dag 1 – What is an embedded system? Embedded system characteristics. Microprocessor vs microcontroller. Embedded processors. System architectures. Control unit and datapath. Control and status registers. Instruction cycles. Pipelining. Superscalar and VLIW Architectures. ASIPS. RAM, ROM, EPROM, SRAM and Flash memory. Memory hierarchy.

Dag 2 – Tools and toolchains for embedded systems. Embedded programming languages. Assembly language, C and C++ for embedded systems. Compilation and linkage Relocation. Compiler requirements. Register access. Libraries. Inline assembly. Memory issues. Heaps and stacks. Macro’s. Compiler optimizations.Loading programs. Booting an embedded system. Code optimization. Debugging. Remote debugging. Emulators and analyzers. JTAG Debugging. Testing

Dag 3 – Embedded operating systems and task schedulers. OS architectures. OS configurations. Interrupts, Device drivers. Creating a process. Processes and their states. Protection. Threads. Multitasking. Cooperative versus pre-emptive multitasking. Context switching. Scheduling policies. Hard and soft real time behaviour. Task synchronization. Rate Monotonic scheduling. Deadlock and priority inversion. Hardware initialization.

Dag 4 – I/O addressing. Memory mapped I/O vs Standard I/O. Interrupt Service Routines. Fixed- vs vectored interrupt. Maskable- vs non-maskable interrupt. Direct Memory Access. Memory transfers with and without DMA.Arbitration. Multilevel bus architectures. Error detection and correction. DigitalAnalog conversion. Serial, parallel, wireless protocols. I2C, CAN, FireWire, USB, PCI, irDA, Blutetooth. Pulse Width Modulation. Timers.
