C Programming of Embedded Systems

Seminarziel

The goal of the Programming of Embedded Systems course is to equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to effectively program embedded systems. By the course's completion, participants will be able to understand the fundamental concepts and architecture of embedded systems. They will also gain proficiency in programming embedded systems using the C language. Furthermore, participants will learn how to use version control systems to manage code and facilitate collaborative development. The course will cover advanced techniques and considerations for programming in the embedded systems domain, including real-time constraints. Participants will also learn to utilize Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to enhance productivity and efficiency in embedded software development. They will become familiar with tools, environments, and debugging techniques specific to embedded systems development. Additionally, participants will gain knowledge in implementing testing and verification methodologies to ensure the reliability and quality of embedded software. Best practices in embedded systems development, including code optimization, power management, and security considerations, will also be covered. Overall, the course aims to provide participants with a strong foundation in programming embedded systems and enable them to develop reliable, efficient, and high-quality software for a variety of embedded applications.
