About this course

Do you need to remotely apply firmware updates to ARM® Cortex® M0+ MCUs? A firmware bootloader provides an economical mechanism for updating system software without the need of connecting a programmer/debugger to the device.  This class will review the basics of firmware bootloaders and show you how to deploy a bootloader-enabled application on a SAM D21 MCU, using the MPLAB® X IDE and the MPLAB Harmony bootloader library. While this course uses an ARM Cortex M0+ MCU, the courseware will enable you to implement a bootloader on any Microchip Cortex MCU.
