AT91RM9200 microcontroller implementation

This course covers AT91RM9200 ARM-based MCU family

Objectives

  • The course details the hardware implementation of the AT91RM9000.
  • The ARM920T operation is detailed, particularly cache and MMU.
  • The boot sequence and the clocking are explained.
  • Practical labs on integrated peripherals are based on I/O functions provided by Atmel.
  • The course provides examples of internal peripheral software drivers.

  • Note that ACSYS does not sell emulation probes and IDEs. Consequently this course has not been designed to convince attendees to buy a particular IDE. The unique objective consists in providing sufficient knowledge to attendees so that they can successfully design a system based on AT91RM9200.

  • This course has been delivered several times to companies developing embedded systems, such as medical equipments.

  • Note that an additional day on Linux porting onto an AT91RM9200 board may be appended.
A lot of programming examples have been developed by ACSYS to explain the boot sequence, the vector table and the operation of embedded peripherals.
•  They have been developed with 2 different IDEs : Keil and IAR.
•  Consequently for on site course, it is up to the customer to select the IDE under which labs will be run.
