A tightly focused and practical training event, this class enables new and prospective users to rapidly gain the experience and understanding they need to get started with ARM Cortex-M-based microcontrollers, and achieve significant initial productivity gains.
You will:

    * Explore the essential elements of the ARM Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M0 processor core
    * Gain an independent overview of the ARM Cortex-M3-based MCUs currently available
    * Develop and simulate a design example through hands-on practice using the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK)
    * Discover how to make best use of µVision, the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK)
    * Introduction to Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS)

Who should attend this seminar?

    * Developers who wish to gain practical experience in the use of ARM Cortex-M3
    * Engineers who want to inform themselves about cutting-edge microcontroller technology
    * Project managers who need to make informed decisions on future system platforms

Prerequisites
No previous knowledge of ARM-based microcontrollers or the RealView MDK is required. A basic working knowledge of the C programming language would be beneficial for understanding the exercises.
