Course overview
The industry is quickly getting dominated by arm-based technologies. Therefore, the Embedded Systems Essentials with Arm certification program will help you get equipped with embedded systems that play a critical role in devices like mobiles, smartwatches, and wearables.
The Embedded Systems Essentials with Arm certification syllabus will include free access to the Mbed simulator, which will help you apply your learnings to build real-world embedded applications without hardware. Furthermore, the course will touch upon embedded systems in IoT applications and help you understand the Arm architecture and processors that suit the application.
Offered by Arm Education, the Embedded Systems Essentials with Arm online course is taught by Khaled Benkrid, Shuojin Hang, Mark Allen, and Tim Wilmshurst in an engaging and application-oriented manner. Under the faculty’s guidance, the course covers digital and analog I/O, time, and pulse width modulation to set up audio wave generators, low-power features, and more.
The candidates may enroll in this course for free or by paying a certain amount of money. There are 2 tracks namely verified or audit track which offers direct access to the course materials. If the candidates opt for the verified mode they are entitled to unlimited access and if they opt for the audit access, they are going to receive only limited access to the course materials.
