| Advanced Embedded System (32-bit ARM Cortex) with RTOS &
Embedded Communication and Networking |
| |
Total duration - 100 hours of lectures and
practicals/hands-on. After this a mini-project will be undertaken by the
trainee based on the learnings of this course. The trainee would be
encouraged to design the project before implementing.
This training will turn you into an advanced Embedded Software/Firmware
developer on ARM Cortex based hardware. The RTOS knowledge will give you an
extra edge required in the Embedded job market

Introduction
This training program has been designed to provide thorough training on
Advanced C programming, ARM Cortex based microcontrollers and Real-Time,
Embedded Networking & Communication protocols and Operating Systems. This
training focuses on building software/firmware development skills of higher
end Embedded Systems and Products.
As the focus is only on 32-bit microcontrollers, this training will give
you the extra edge over most other job seekers. The reason being that most organizations
are looking for 32-bit programming skills in their future employees. Having
knowledge on only 8-bit platform is no longer sufficient to ensure a job in
most companies.
All the modules have ample hands-on and lab sessions, with more tutorials
provided for further study. Each topic in this course will be matched with
real-time experiments on the hardware kits. The course will end with a
project that would be conceptualized, designed, implemented and tested by the
trainees, with full guidance and support from the faculty.

Target audience for the program
This course is designed for those who already have good knowledge of
C/Embedded C but limited to 8-bit or 16-bit platforms and want to learn ARM
microcontroller, Embedded Networking
and Real-Time operating systems. Only for those who are serious about
a career in Embedded Systems domain. |
