FF4MCF548x implementation
This course covers MCF548X ColdFire MCUs, for instance the MCF5485
Objectives
  • Optimized code writing based on pipeline knowledge.
  • Memory controller understanding, especially DDR SDRAM controller.
  • Understanding the operation of the Fast Ethernet controller.
  • Detailing the reset sequence.
  • Programming of an Interrupt Service Routine.
  • Parameterizing the PCI bridge to perform inbound and outbound transactions.

  • This course has been delivered several times to companies developing transportation equipments.
A lot of programming examples have been developed by ACSYS to explain the boot sequence and the operation of complex peripherals, such as Fast Ethernet.
•  They have been developed with CodeWarrior compiler and are executed under CodeWarrior debugger.
A more detailed course description is available on request at training@ac6-training.com
  • Experience of a 32 bit processor or DSP is mandatory.
  • Theoretical course
    • PDF course material (in English) supplemented by a printed version for face-to-face courses.
    • Online courses are dispensed using the Teams video-conferencing system.
    • The trainer answers trainees' questions during the training and provide technical and pedagogical assistance.
  • At the start of each session the trainer will interact with the trainees to ensure the course fits their expectations and correct if needed
  • Any embedded systems engineer or technician with the above prerequisites.
  • The prerequisites indicated above are assessed before the training by the technical supervision of the traineein his company, or by the trainee himself in the exceptional case of an individual trainee.
  • Trainee progress is assessed by quizzes offered at the end of various sections to verify that the trainees have assimilated the points presented
  • At the end of the training, each trainee receives a certificate attesting that they have successfully completed the course.
    • In the event of a problem, discovered during the course, due to a lack of prerequisites by the trainee a different or additional training is offered to them, generally to reinforce their prerequisites,in agreement with their company manager if applicable.
