The C programming language is perhaps the most popular programming language for programming embedded systems.

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

• Developers
• Designers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

A two day course consisting of around 60% hands-on labs focusing on Embedded Linux kernel internals, architecture, development and investigating how to write and integrate several types of device drivers. Who should attend? Engineers interested in Linux kernel development on Embedded systems and plateforms.

This course demonstrates through hands-on practice the fundamentals of Embedded Computers.

This training intends to introduce C++ as the common extension of C when applying object-oriented embedded system development. Since C++ encloses C, this training takes us from C to C++ in a natural way, and looks under the hood of how C++ is implemented. This is especially valuable to comprehend when applying C++ in an embedded resource limited environment.  The C++ standard has recently been undergoing a major revision, a.k.a. as C++11, and a new one is on its way, C++14. This course addresses subjects brought in with these revisions that are especially useful like high performance memory management, concurrency making use of a multicore environment, and bare-metal close to the hardware programming. GOAL/BENEFITS The major objective of this class is that you shall be able to use C++ in a “correct way”.

• Introduce C++ as an object oriented language alternative in an embedded system context
• Show the similarities ‑ and differences ‑ with the C language
• Comprehend different memory management strategies – especially the move semantics introduced with C++11
• Look under the hood and understand what different paradigms in C++ leads to in machine code
• Use templates to achieve type safe high order abstractions for bare-metal close to the hardware programming – memory mapped I/O as well as interrupts – especially the variadic templates introduced with C++11
• Provide some useful design patterns especially applicable in an embedded context
• A few exercises in order to practice some concepts

AUDIENCE/PARTICIPANTS This training is aimed C++- programmers who intend to start using C++ in an embedded system context. PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE The course requires basic knowledge in C++ programming, corresponding to our trainings ”C++ – Level 1” and ”C++ Level 2 – Introducing C++11”.
