FK1 Kinetis MCU Implementation

This course covers all NXP MCUs belonging to the Kinetis families K10, K20, K30, K40 and K60

formateur
Objectives
  • This course has 5 main objectives:
    • Describing the hardware implementation and highlighting the pitfalls
    • Describing the ARM Cortex-M4 core architecture
    • Becoming familiar with the IDE and low level programming
    • Describing the units which are interconnected to other modules, such as clocking, interrupt controller and DMA controller, because the boot program generally has to modify the setting of these units
    • Describing independent I/O modules and their drivers.
  • Note that this course has been designed from the architecture of the most complex Kinetis device, the K60.
    • Consequently, a chapter has been designed by Acsys for each possible integrated IP.
    • So the customer can build its own course outlines from the topics described hereafter.

  • Products and services offered by ACSYS:
    • ACSYS has developed FFTs (floating-point and fixed-point) optimized for ARM cores, based on SIMD instructions supported by the Cortex-M4.
    • Contact training@ac6-training.com to obtain informations about the performance of these FFTs.
    • ACSYS is able to assist the customer by providing consultancies. Typical expertises are done during board bringup, hardware schematics review, software debugging, performance tuning.
    • ACSYS has also an expertise in FreeRTOS or MQX porting and uIP /LWIP stack or Interniche stack integration.

A lot of programming examples have been developed by ACSYS to help the attendee to become familiar with the IDE he has chosen.
That is why the labs included in this course can be compiled and executed under 3 possible IDEs: IAR, CodeWarrior and GCC / Lauterbach Trace32.
A more detailed course description is available on request at training@ac6-training.com
This document is necessary to tailor the course to specific customer needs and to define the exact schedule.
