New course on microcontrollers - a joint project of industry and universities
The British company, two American companies and 18 universities (including Russian MIET, ITMO, SSAU, NNTU) collaborated to launch a modern course on microcontrollers with a small binding to the Internet of Things. This is today's press release from Imagination Technologies, Microchip Technology and Digilent (National Instruments divisions) . The main author is Professor Alexander Dean from the University of North Carolina . Unlike the more lightweight courses on the Internet of Things, the new course brings a solid engineering base under the subject - it discusses in detail the use of RTOS, the microprocessor core architecture of the microcontroller, the peripheral protocols and even the optimization of algorithms for programming.

In a press release, in addition to quotes from the United States, Britain, Germany, China, there is a quote from Russia:
A couple of dozen slides from the course to make you taste it:
When should I use microcontrollers, and when - specialized chips, FPGAs or embedded PCs:
Three levels in the course - microprocessor core, microcontroller, board:
What is what in the assembler code from Si:
As different devices inside the microcontroller can use the same pins from the case:
The problem with sequential programs as a preface to parallel programming:
Explaining the concept of interrupts as solving problems with sequential programs:
How analog peripherals work:
What is, what is needed and how to do pulse-width modulation (PWM):
Details of communication protocols with peripheral devices, the concept of framing:
A bird's-eye view of the system while the program is running with several peripherals:
What does the DMA controller do:
There is something for lovers of Arduino:
Introduction to real-time operating systems:
And here is how a two-dimensional array fits into the cache:
And now deep into the micro-architecture of the microprocessor core in the heart of the microcontroller:
Explanation of the concept of the processor pipeline, which is necessary for understanding the micro-architecture:
As a course for undergraduate students, there is simply a common sense of programming:
As well as a few reminders about data structures to write effective programs:
And about the Internet of things of course - connecting to the cloud via WiFi:
Thanks to participants from universities for detailed reviews of materials:
