Abstract

Come learn about the '8051' of the 32-bit world. Discover how 32-bit ARM-based single chip microcontrollers can help 'future-proof' your designs by preserving your investment in hardware and software skills, and extending the life of your product platform. Learn about the ARM programmer's model, and the different cores being used in the newest ARM microcontrollers from Atmel, Philips, ST, TI, Intel and others. The future of ARM based MCUs will also be discussed.

Topic Outline:
1.   Who are ARM
2.   The benefits of an open architecture
      a. Tools availability (Compilers, Debuggers, RTOSs, etc)
      b. Standard programming model
      c. Portable workplace (i.e. ability to find engineers who know the architecture
          + plus a great skill to have on resume)
      d. The ARM Connected Community
      e. ARM MCU Vendors
3.   Short Introduction to the Architecture
      a. Why RISC (RISC vs. CISC)
      b. Overview of existing cores
      c. Pipelines
      d. Exceptions & Interrupts
4.   The future of ARM based MCUs
      a. Evolution of ARM7 & ARM9 MCUs
      b. The role of standardisation organizations (Autosar & Jasper etc)
      c. New technologies
            i. The ARM Cortex family
            ii. The ARM Cortex-M3
