ARM Development Primer
ToDay, we will collect all of the tools we'll need to ARM ourselves for the rest of the lecture series. We will gather programmers/debuggers, install software tools and test the operation of the hardware that we will be discussing this week.
Learning to control an ARM processor's I/O subsystems is essential. In this lecture, we will code firmware manipulation routines for various STMicroelectronics ARM microcontrollers using the Keil MDK-Essential Edition.
Now that we know how to control the ARM I/O subsystem, we can add to that functionality by taking control of the ARM on-chip peripherals. ToDay's lecture will concentrate on enabling ARM-based UARTS, SPI and USB portals.
Everything Atmel is now Microchip. The acquisition of Atmel pushed Microchip into the ARM business. Today’s lecture will introduce you to Microchip’s new SAM D5x E5x family of ARM MCUs. We will kick the tires and learn to drive the ATSAME54P20A.
ToDay's lecture will walk through the steps necessary to connect the ATSAME54P20A to an Ethernet LAN. We will use the services of the LwIP TCP/IP stack to transfer raw data over the LAN.
