C Programming for Embedded Systems provides an excellent full scope primer for any of the embedded system courses, or for anyone wishing to learn or use C in the context of embedded programming or hardware-software integration.
About Embedded
Who should attend?
C Programming for Embedded Systems is a hands-on course aimed at software, firmware, and hardware engineers who need to learn the practical skills necessary to program embedded micro controllers in C. It is suitable both for people who do not know C and for people who have used C in other contexts but have had little or no exposure to embedded programming in C.
Pre-requisites
Should have a working knowledge of programming language concepts and syntax, and should have experience programming in some high-level programming language (or HDL). In particular, delegates should have a working knowledge of functions, variables, data types, operators, and statements. This course is not suitable as a first course in computer programming. Previous experience with C is advantageous but is not essential. Embedded programming experience is not necessary.
