STR3	STR91X implementation

This course covers STR9 ARM-based MCU family

Objectives The course details the hardware implementation of the STR91x microcontrollers. The boot sequence and the clocking are explained. The course focuses on the low level programming of the ARM966 CPU. Practical labs on integrated peripherals are based on I/O functions provided by ST. 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 STR9. This course has been delivered several times to companies developing embedded systems, such as industrial equipments. 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.
