Microcontroller Design Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Uruguay (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to learn how to use embedded C to program various types of microcontrollers based on different processor architectures (8051, ARM CORTEX M-3, and ARM9).

In this instructor-led, live training in Uruguay, participants will learn how to program the Arduino for real-world usage, such as to control lights, motors and motion detection sensors. This course assumes the use of real hardware components in a live lab environment (not software-simulated hardware). 

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Program Arduino to control lights, motors, and other devices.
• Understand Arduino's architecture, including inputs and connectors for add-on devices.
• Add third-party components such as LCDs, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and GPS trackers to extend Arduino's functionality.
• Understand the various options in programming languages, from C to drag-and-drop languages.
• Test, debug, and deploy the Arduino to solve real world problems.

Raspberry Pi is a very small, single-board computer.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to set up and program the Raspberry Pi to serve as an interactive and powerful embedded system.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up an IDE (integrated development environment) for maximum development productivity
• Program Raspberry Pi to control devices such as motion sensor, alarms, web servers and printers.
• Understand Raspberry Pi's architecture, including inputs and connectors for add-on devices.
• Understand the various options in programming languages and operating systems
• Test, debug, and deploy the Raspberry Pi to solve real world problems

Audience

• Developers
• Hardware/software technicians
• Technical persons in all industries
• Hobbyists

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Note

• Raspberry Pi supports various operating systems and programming languages. This course will use  Linux-based Raspbian as the operating system and Python as the programming language. To request a specific setup, please contact us to arrange.
• Participants are responsible for purchasing the Raspberry Pi hardware and components.

This instructor-led, live training in Uruguay (online or onsite) is aimed at engineers who wish to write, load and run machine learning models on very small embedded devices.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install TensorFlow Lite.
• Load machine learning models onto an embedded device to enable it to detect speech, classify images, etc.
• Add AI to hardware devices without relying on network connectivity.

A two day course consisting of around 60% hands-on labs focusing on Embedded Linux kernel internals, architecture, development and investigating how to write and integrate several types of device drivers.

Who should attend?

Engineers interested in Linux kernel development on Embedded systems and plateforms.

The C programming language is perhaps the most popular programming language for programming embedded systems.

This course demonstrates through hands-on practice the fundamentals of Embedded Computers.

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) intended to serve real-time application process data as it comes in, typically without buffering delays.

In this course, participants will learn C++ concepts and programming skills.

Raspberry Pi is a small, barebones computer developed by The Raspberry Pi Foundation.

An ARM processor is one of a family of CPUs based on the RISC (reduced instruction set computer) architecture developed by Advanced RISC Machines (ARM).

An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints.

Berkeley DB (BDB) is a software library intended to provide a high-performance embedded database for key/value data. Berkeley DB is written in C with API bindings for C++, C#, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, Tcl, and many other programming languages. Berkeley DB is not a relational database.

This course will introduce the architecture and capabilities of Berkeley DB and walk participants through the development of their own sample application using Berkeley DB.

Audience

• Application developers
• Software engineers
• Technical consultants

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, hands-on development and implementation, tests to gauge understanding

This instructor-led, live training in Uruguay introduces the system architectures, operating systems, networking, storage, and cryptographic issues that should be considered when designing secure embedded systems.

By the end of this course, participants will have a solid understanding of security principles, concerns, and technologies. More importantly, participants will be equipped with the techniques needed for developing safe and secure embedded software.

Model Based Development (MBD) is a software development methodology that enables faster, more cost-effective development of dynamic systems such as control systems, signal processing and communication systems. It relies on graphic modeling rather than the traditional text based programming.

In this instructor-led, live training participants will learn how to apply MBD methodologies to reduce development costs and accelerate the time to market of their embedded software products.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to

• Select and utilize the right tools for implementing MBD.
• Use MBD to carry out rapid development in the early stages of their embedded software project.
• Shorten the release of their embedded software into the market.

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
