Multicore Application Architecture Design
Multicore microcontrollers are becoming a standard design element in many embedded systems. In this sessionwe will explore the different hardware and software architectures that are available to developers and discuss how different application components can be distributed. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of the different design options relating to real-time processingsecuritymachine learningand more.

A Quick Review of RTOS Fundamentals
Before diving deeper into multicore multiprocessingit's imperative to make sure everyone is well-grounded in RTOS Fundamentals. In this sessionwe will review the characteristics of real-time operating systems in preparation for writing RTOS based multicore applications later in the week. Attendees will walk away with a review of RTOS fundamentals like how to design software architectureuse mutexessemaphorequeuesand event flags.

Toolchain Setup for Dual-Core MCU's
Developing applications for a multicore microcontroller is not exactly the same as a single-core processor. In this sessionwe will explore how to set up the STM toolchain to write application code on each core of the microcontroller. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of toolchain setupdevice programmingand how to debug a multicore application.
