About this course

Do you want to enhance the performance and bandwidth of your microcontroller designs? This class will teach you how to use the flexible Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC) and Event System on the Microchip ARM® Cortex® M0+, M23, M4 and M33 microcontrollers. You will learn how to set up and use these peripherals to automatate tasks which will significantly reduce CPU overhead and expedite sensor data acquisitions. You will learn about DMAC architecture, including data transfers, arbitration, transfer triggers, descriptors, and block transfers. Additionally, you will understand the Event System architecture, including channel generators and users. Using the MPLABX IDE and MCC/Harmony, you will configure and operate these peripherals on the SAME51 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit through hands-on labs.

Prerequisites:

Prior experience using C for embedded microcontrollers and MCC/Harmony is beneficial
