Course overview

Embedded programming is more demanding than other forms of programming because it has to address specific needs:

High performance requirements, sometimes in real time
Safety-critical systems
Limited resources like memory and processing power
More tasks to be performed in parallel

C++ has been a popular general purpose programming language for many years. Developments in microcontroller technology, increased complexity of applications and improvements in later versions of the C++ standard mean that C++ is now replacing C as the preferred language for embedded systems in many cases.

This course teaches the C++ programming language in the context of real-time and embedded systems, with a focus on resource and performance aspects linked to key C++ features and programming styles.

Course Objective

After completing the course, you will be able to:

Describe the syntax and semantics of C++ for embedded systems
Using object-oriented principles in safety-critical environments
Programming modern microcontrollers in C++
Work with real-time development tools and debugging methods on target platform
Managing memory-mapped peripherals with C++
Writing and using interrupt handlers
Understand the basics of real-time operating systems and scheduling
Apply best practices for robust embedded software

Target Group

The course is suitable for those who want to develop applications in an Embedded Linux environment. It provides hands-on experience in programming a modern embedded microcontroller with real-time development tools. About 50% of the time is devoted to practical exercises on a real embedded system.

Prerequisites

Basic programming skills, preferably C/C++.

Certification

This course does not have any associated certification. Each participant who completes the course receives a course certificate.

Trainer

This course is organized in collaboration with Mindroad.

Mindroad is an engineering company that offers advanced software development training with a focus on embedded systems, methodologies and workflows, and application development. Their instructors combine engineering work in software development with conducting training sessions, allowing them to share their experiences from their daily work.

More about the course

The course is delivered in collaboration with Mindroad. About half of the time is spent on practical exercises on a real built-in system.
