Description
Get started with Micro-controller Bootloader Development. This course will be suitable for beginners in the domain of embedded systems and programming.This course is all about learning to develop a custom BootLoader for ARM CORTEX Mx powered STM32Fx microcontroller.In this course, I will guide you through a step-by-step procedures to develop your own BootLoader and we will explore many things related to BootLoader programming.The BootLoader we are going to develop in this course will have the following features1) It can do in-application programming(IAP). You can use the BootLoader to flash a given application binary2) Read microcontroller-specific data3) Flash related configurations like setting up read and write protections for different sectors4) Flash sector erase5) Mass erase of the user flash6) Read and display the protection status of the flash memory7) Jump to the specified address to execute the codeAlong with custom BootLoader development, you will also understand1) The different memory organization of a microcontroller2) Memory aliasing and different boot modes of STM323) How MCU boots after power-up4) Vector table mapping and vector table relocation use case of arm cortex mx processor.5) Difference between In-system programming(ISP) and in-application programming(IAP)6) Custom boot loader design flow chart7) Host and Boot loader communication method8) Implementation of different boot loader commandsYou can also extend this BootLoader by giving the following features once you complete the course1) Encrypt and Decrypt the firmware sent by the host using AES2) Over-the-air programming by interfacing WIFI or Zigbee ModulesHardware used in this course:In this course, STM32F446RE Nucleo board is used.If you have any other board based on the STM32 microcontroller then also you can use the codes developed in the course with no or minor changes.Software used:1) KEIL-MDK-5 for WINDOWS2) OpenSTM32 SystemWorkbench for (WINDOWS/LINUX/MAC OS)Learning order of FastBit Embedded Brain Academy Courses,If you are a beginner in the field of embedded systems, then you can take our courses in the below-mentioned order. This is just a recommendation from the instructor for beginners. 1) Microcontroller Embedded C Programming: absolute beginners(Embedded C)2) Embedded Systems Programming on ARM Cortex-M3/M4 Processor(ARM Cortex M4 Processor specific)3) Mastering Microcontroller with Embedded Driver Development(MCU1)4) Mastering Microcontroller: TIMERS, PWM, CAN, RTC,LOW POWER(MCU2)5) Embedded System Design using UML State Machines(State machine)6) Mastering RTOS: Hands-on FreeRTOS and STM32Fx with Debugging(RTOS)7) ARM Cortex M Microcontroller DMA Programming Demystified(DMA)8) STM32Fx Microcontroller Custom Bootloader Development(Bootloader)9) Embedded Linux Step by Step using Beaglebone Black(Linux)10) Linux device driver programming using Beaglebone Black(LDD1)
