Embedded Project Development Workshop

Plano, TX USA — Apr 13, 2005

Learn to use the Keil Software Embedded Development Tool Suite to write C programs for the ARM7, C16x/XC16x/ST10, MCS® 251, and 8051 microcontroller families.

Workshop Goal

This workshop is designed for anyone responsible for embedded software development. Engineers as well as managers will learn how to use the Keil Development Tool Suite while creating working programs.

Workshop Objectives

Participants who successfully complete this course will demonstrate through written, verbal and/or hands-on lab assignments the ability to:

• Successfully create an embedded application.
• Write, compile, link, and test embedded programs.
• Use Keil tools including: µVision IDE, Assembler, C Compiler, Linker, Simulator, and Target Debugger.
• Test and verify programs using the Keil debugger.
• Download and run programs on an evaluation board.

Prerequisites

• Attendees should have a good knowledge of programming.
