TK1 KEYSTONE II IMPLEMENTATION

This course covers all SoCs belonging to the KeyStone II, AM5K2E, 66AK2H and 66AK2E

OBJECTIVES
  • The course details the hardware implementation of the Key Stone II.
  • The course focuses on the boot sequence, the clocking and the power management strategies.
  • The course explains all parameters that affect the performance of the system in order to easily perform the final tuning.
  • The Ethernet MACs, as well as the Queue Manager and the Network Coprocessor are detailed.
  • Interrupt management through ARM GIC is explained through a lab.
  • The course also covers the hardware implementation, particularly the power supplies and the clocking
  • All operation modes of EDMA3 are studied through use cases.
  • General purpose high speed interfaces PCIe and USB3.0 are also handled.

A more detailed course description is available on request at training@ac6-training.com
  • 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.
