3. C language: introduction to libc libraries, arm-none-eabi-gcc compiler, printf and stdout.
4. C language: specialties in libc and gcc, combination with ASM, basic libraries.
5. Source code: Doxygen, Subversion; coding style.
6. Embedded systems design principles, introduction to RTOS, cooperative RTOS.
7. ARM Cortex-M core: architecture, features, NVIC, GPIO.
8. STM32 peripherials: counter/timer (SysTick, tone generator, PWM etc.), RTC, ADC, DAC.
9. STM32 communication: UART (RS232/485), SPI, I2C, 1-wire, DMA.
10. High-level firmware development, middlewares, STM32CubeMX tool.

The aim of the course is to deepen students' knowledge of microprocessor technology and programming in C, to familiarize them with ARM Cortex-M core, with STMicroelectronics STM32 MCUs, and learn to design the hardware and firmware for the most common peripherals.

The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
