AT2 AT91SAM9 microcontroller implementation

This course covers AT91SAM9 ARM-based MCU family


formateur
Objectives
bullet_jaune_1 The course details the hardware implementation of the AT91SAM9 MCUS.
bullet_jaune_1 The ARM926EJ-S operation is detailed, particularly cache and MMU.
bullet_jaune_1 The boot sequence and the clocking are explained.
bullet_jaune_1 Practical labs on integrated peripherals are based on I/O functions provided by Atmel.
bullet_jaune_1 The course provides examples of internal peripheral software drivers.

bullet_jaune_1 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 AT91SAM9.

bullet_jaune_1 This course has been delivered several times to companies developing embedded systems, such as medical equipments.

bullet_jaune_1 Note that an additional day on Linux porting onto an AT91SAM9 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.
