TWO DAY WORKSHOP

ON

EMBEDDED SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT WITH RTOS
(ARM Cortex-M)

Ø Introduction

    Have you ever tried to learn about ARM Cortex-M Processor by reading a book or technical manuals and found stuck? Have you ended up seeing bits and pieces all over the map but could not able tie it all together to have a big picture? 

This workshop is for Faculty/Students like you who want to learn and Program ARM Cortex-M based controllers by digging deep into its internals and programming aspects.

This workshop gives you better understanding of various RTOS concepts with freeRTOS, importance of various freeRTOS scheduling policies, task management, Queue management, right of synchronising between tasks and semaphores, Mutexes, Direct to Task Notifications etc.
