e200z7 implementation

This course covers the e200z7 core present in NXP MPC56XX MCUs

Objectives

  • This course has 5 main objectives:
    • Learning the exception mechanism, providing guidelines to implement nesting
    • Explaining the operation and initialization of the MMU and caches
    • Highlighting the cache coherency issues and explaining the snooping
    • Detailing low level programming, particularly the floating-point and SPE instructions
    • Describing the debug units.

  • ACSYS has developed an optimized SPE based FFT coded in assembler language.
  • For any information contact training@ac6-training.com
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 material in English (printed for face-to-face); online over Teams.
    • Trainer assistance throughout.
  • Each session starts with a trainee check-in.
  • Any embedded systems engineer or technician with the above prerequisites.
  • Prerequisites are checked before the course starts, against the prerequisites published on this page.
  • Throughout the course, learning is assessed continuously: end-of-section quizzes and direct observation by the trainer.
  • At the end of the course, each participant receives a training completion certificate.
