Description

This course tries to perform hands on coding to build, flash and debug a simple program to run on STM32F446RE Nucleo Board. It explains the ARM M4 microcontroller start-up process and walks though Assembly and C code to bring up the microcontroller.

A prior knowledge of C is preferable, this is a self contained beginner friendly approach to introduce concepts by writing simple and complete functional code that works on a Nucleo Board.

We will learn the following as we code through this course.

• Essentials
• Essential Reference Documents – STM32F446 Datasheet, Programming Manual and Reference Manual
• Usage of opensource tools. A lot of documentation is available in public for these tools and can be used free of cost. Tool set-up is not covered here.
• Elaborates ARM Microcontroller start-up process.
• Code following for minimal baremetal code
• Linker File
• Start-up Assembly Code
• Makefile
• C code sections and how to prepare microcontroller to C code compiled with GCC.
• Flashing with OpenOCD
• Debugging and tracing code with GDB
• Extending Code
• Extending C code to blink LED
• Extending C code to transmit and receive via UART for a terminal user interface.
• Context switch
• Overview of interrupts, interrupt vector table, Registers.
• Context switch basics and Task Control Block
• Coding context switch and creation and and deletion of tasks.
• Software Concepts
• Also uses finite state machine for Tasks.

Who this course is for

• Beginner embedded systems engineer
• Firmware developer
• Hobby coders
• DIYers
