Duration
3 days
Requirements
- A general understanding of C++
Overview
Is C++ suitable for embedded systems such as microcontrollers and real-time-operating-systems?
Should object-oriented-programming be used in microcontrollers?
Is C++ too far removed from the hardware to be efficient?
This instructor-led, live training addresses these questions and demonstrates through discussion and practice how C++ can be used to develop embedded systems with code that is accurate, readable, and efficient. Participants put theory into practice through the creation of a sample embedded application in C++.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the principles of object-oriented modelling, embedded software programming and real-time programming
- Produce code for embedded systems that is small, fast and safe
- Avoid code bloat from templates, exceptions, and other language features
- Understand the issues related to using C++ in safety-critical and real-time systems
- Debug a C++ program on a target device
Audience
