STM32 Lec1

This document provides an overview of a course on microcontrollers and interfacing using ARM processors. The course goals are to understand ARM architecture, program ARM microcontrollers in assembly and C, interface with peripherals like timers and ADCs, and communicate using serial interfaces. Popular microcontroller architectures include Intel 8051, Zilog Z80, Atmel AVR, Microchip PIC, and ARM. The course will focus on STM32 ARM microcontrollers, including the STM32 value line and discovery kit. Upcoming assignments include comparing ARM processors and installing development tools to compile demo software.

MICROCONTROLLERS AND INTERFACING USING ARM PROCESSOR

Lecture 1

Prof. Yasser Mostafa Kadah

Course Goals

At the end of this course, you should be able to:


Understand the architecture of one of the most popular microcontroller (MCU) families Use an integrated development environment (IDE) to program and debug an MCU Program an MCU using Assembly and C languages Understand and use peripherals integrated into an MCU Interface an MCU to simple external components Use timers in various modes Understand and use interrupts Understand and use analog to digital converters (ADC) and digital to analog converters (DAC) Communicate using a serial interface (if time allows)

Course Prerequisites

A course in Electric Circuits that includes understanding basic electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes and transistors A course in basic digital logic design that includes logic gates and Boolean arithmetic Ability to program in a high-level programming language such as C or C++

Microprocessors and Microcontrollers

Microprocessor: general-purpose CPU


Emphasis is on flexibility and performance Generic user-interface such as keyboard, mouse, etc. Used in a PC, PDA, cell phone, etc.

Microcontroller: microprocessor + memory on a single chip


Emphasis is on size and cost reduction The user interface is tailored to the application, such as the buttons on a TV remote control Used in a digital watch, TV remote control, car and many common dayto-day appliances

Microcontroller Architectures

Microcontroller architecture refers to the internal hardware organization of a microcontroller Each hardware architecture has its own set of software instructions called assembly language that allows programming of the microcontroller Some of the popular microcontroller architectures

Intel 8051 Zilog Z80 Atmel AVR Microchip PIC ARM

ARM Processors

ARM: Advanced RISC Machines


Previously Acorn RISC Machines ARM1: 1985 Now: ARM11, ARM Cortex A, ARM Cortex R, ARM Cortex M
