Knowledge of ARM architecture is recommended Knowledge of Linux basics is recommended

The course details the hardware implementation of the MCIMX51 microcontroller.
The course focuses on the boot sequence, the clocking and the power management strategies.
The course explains all parameters that affect the performance of the system in order to easily perform the final tuning.
The multiple complex units involved in multimedia stream management are covered in depth.
An overview of the Cortex-A8 core helps to understand issues caused by cache and MMU.
The course ends with practical labs explaining how to generate a Linux image as well as a Root File System, by using a tool called LTIB [Linux Target Image Builder]
Products and services offered by ACSYS:

ACSYS has developed FFTs (floating-point and fixed-point) optimized for ARM cores, based on SIMD instructions supported by the Cortex-A8.
Contact formation@ac6-formation.com to obtain informations about the performance of these FFTs.
ACSYS is able to assist the customer by providing consultancies. Typical expertises are done during board bringup, hardware schematics review, software debugging, performance tuning.
ACSYS has also an expertise in programming the SDMA, a simple OS-agnostic driver has been developed to explain how to manage scripts.

	Program examples have been developed by ACSYS to explain the boot sequence and the operation of complex peripherals.
	•	They are compiled by the GNU compiler and are executed under Lauterbach debugger.
	•	A host desktop running Linux is used to generate Linux image and Root File System during labs on LTIB.

Training manuals will be given to attendees during training both in pdf and in print. Precise and easy to use, those notes can be used as a reference afterwards.

The prerequisites indicated above are assessed before the training by the technical supervision of the traineein his company, or by the trainee himself in the exceptional case of an individual trainee.
Trainee progress is assessed in two different ways, depending on the course:

For courses lending themselves to practical exercises, the results of the exercises are checked by the trainer while, if necessary, helping trainees to carry them out by providing additional details.
Quizzes are offered at the end of sections that do not include practical exercises to verifythat the trainees have assimilated the points presented

At the end of the training, each trainee receives a certificate attesting that they have successfully completed the course.

In the event of a problem, discovered during the course, due to a lack of prerequisites by the trainee a different or additional training is offered to them, generally to reinforce their prerequisites,in agreement with their company manager if applicable.
