Course: C++ for Embedded Systems


Who Should Attend?

Software engineers with C experience having to develop object oriented applications for embedded systems.

Pre-requisites:

A good working knowledge of C.

Duration:

5 days (Monday to Friday)

Course Description:

This course teaches the programming language C++ and the concepts of object oriented programming with focus on embedded systems. Particular emphasis is put on the assessment of the memory and runtime requirements of the language features, which is vital for embedded systems.

Additionally this course shows how to deal with hardware devices in an object oriented way. The related hands-on exercises are performed with IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM and ARM-based target boards.
