ARM Cortex-M3 M4 Software Development

This course is designed for engineers developing software for platforms based around the ARM Cortex-M3 or Cortex-M4 processors.

This ARM Cortex-M3 M4 Software Development” training course includes an introduction to the ARM product range and supporting IP, the Cortex-M3/M4 core, programmers’ model, instruction set and debug architecture. The course includes a number of hands-on practical exercises to reinforce the lecture material.

Previous / Knowledge

• Some knowledge of embedded systems.
• A basic awareness of ARM is useful but not essential.
• Knowledge of programming in C.
