The Microcontroller applications with CMSIS components workshop will introduce the use of a small footprint Real Time Operating System on a ARM^® Cortex^®-M processor-based microcontroller and you will learn how to create a microcontroller application with Cortex Microcontroller Software Interface Standard (CMSIS) components.

Throughout the course we will use the CMSIS-RTOS API which is designed to be a standard software interface for operating systems running on Cortex-M microcontrollers. Training is based around a number of practical examples using Keil MDK-ARM™ development tools.

With the availability of ever more capable microcontrollers, software development for these devices has become more complex over the years. Use of real-time operating systems is rapidly becoming an industry best practice, and usage of commercial middleware as well as reuse of custom libraries is gaining importance for cost-efficient software engineering. Successfully combining these building blocks of a modern embedded application often poses a problem for developers.

To resolve this, ARM developed the CMSIS. In just 60 minutes the software framework for a sophisticated microcontroller application can be created using CMSIS and middleware components. In this workshop we create a microcontroller application with graphical user interface. A standard evaluation kit with a Cortex-M processor based microcontroller is used to deploy and debug the software. For software development the MDK-ARM Microcontroller Development Kit, an open-source RTOS, and the widely adopted SEGGER emWIN graphical library is used. These components are combined using CMSIS-Drivers. Participants will receive a free STMicroelectronics STM32 F429 Discovery Kit (subject to availability). The workshop requires installation of Keil MDK Version 5 on participants' laptops.
