Embedded Programming with ARM Microcontrollers

After trying programming with tiny 8 bit AVR controller, If you feel, you have outgrown for 8 bit controllers and looking for transition to 32 bit world; we have ARM for you. You will surprise how simple ARM is, because being a RISC, you will find it a lot similar to AVR. You will also use the GNU cross compilers for ARM, just like GNU cross compilers for AVR. Again on your same favorite Linux live CD from DEPIK.

This course should be taken after AVR controller, so third year is the right time for this.
