Embedded Systems Essentials with Arm

Overview

Embark on a transformative journey into the world of embedded systems with the Arm EducationX Embedded Systems Essential Program offered by edX. As embedded systems form the cornerstone of a connected world powered by technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled by 5G, acquiring skills in Arm-based technologies becomes imperative for any forward-looking engineer.

This comprehensive program is tailored for individuals with a backdrop in computer or electrical engineering and a rudimentary understanding of C/C++.

Dive deep into the intricacies of embedded systems design and programming, starting with over 180 billion Arm-based chips that mark their significance in the tech world.

The first part of the program covers the basics of embedded systems including their components, benefits, and constraints, enriched with practical experience through Arm's Mbed API. This allows learners to engage in prototyping and building microcontroller projects seamlessly without physical hardware.

Advancing to Part 2, the focus shifts to Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and Serial Communication vital for Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers.

Practical lab exercises are facilitated using the popular ST Nucleo F401RE board in collaboration with ST Microelectronics, preparing participants for real-world applications.

By the course's conclusion, attendees will be adept at creating sophisticated applications, such as user interfaces, temperature sensors, and music players, with ample scope for enhancement. This program not only lays down the essentials of embedded systems but also opens up myriad opportunities in IoT and beyond.

Enroll today to forge a path to a career in embedded systems through industry-standard, Arm-based hardware.

Categories include Programming Courses and Embedded Systems Courses, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
