TI STELLARIS CORTEX-M4F BASED MCUs IMPLEMENTATION

This course covers all MCUs belonging to the Stellaris Cortex-M4F family, LM4F100 and LM4F200 SERIES.<p>

Objectives

  • This course has 5 main objectives:
    • Describing the hardware implementation and highlighting the pitfalls
    • Describing the ARM Cortex-M4F core architecture
    • Becoming familiar with CCS or Keil 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 the implementation of the TI Driver Lib.
  • Note that this course has been designed from the architecture of the most complex STELLARIS Cortex-M4 based device, the LM4F232.
  • Consequently, a chapter has been designed by Acsys for each possible integrated IP.

  • 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 porting and uIP /LWIP or Interniche stack integration.

  • According to the actual reference chosen by the customer, some chapters may be removed
A lot of programming examples have been developed by ACSYS to help the attendee to become familiar with the CCS or Keil IDE.
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.

  • This course provides an overview of the ARM Cortex-M4F core. Our course reference RM3 - Cortex-M4 / Cortex-M4F implementation course details the operation of this core and particularly details the operation of FPU and DSP instructions.
  • The following courses could be of interest:
  • 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.
