MPC555/5xx Power Architecture Microcontrollers Class Dates Offered: NO OPEN CLASS IS SCHEDULED AT THIS TIME, PLEASE CONTACT ARNEWSH INC. FOR ONSITE TRAINING
Description:	This is a 4-day course covering the major hardware and software features of the Freescale Semiconductor's MPC555/565 (MPC5xx) microcontrollers and enables the system designer or software engineer to understand the MPC5xx, its peripherals, and their applications. The class consists of lecture, in-class exercises, and labs. Course topics include: MPC5xx family Overview, Programming Model, Register Set, Addressing Modes, Instruction Set, Resets & Interrupts, Bus Signals, Memory Configurations, Operational Modes, USIU and L2U Interface Modules, Burst Buffer Module, and IMB3 Module. Device Peripherals include the MIOS, TPU3, QSMCM, QADC and TouCAN modules. C code programs amplify the subject material throughout the course. During the lab sessions, the student gains experience with the development process writing C code and/or assembly-level routines to configure and control the MCU peripherals. Each derived solution is downloaded, executed and debugged to ensure that the program's operation meets given requirements.
Objectives:	Obtain essential knowledge of the MPC5xx family RISC architecture, operational modes, memory arrays and peripherals. Understand the MPC5xx programming model and register set operational features. Become familiar with the MPC5xx execution units, addressing modes, and instruction set. Understand the operation and servicing requirements of MPC5xx interrupts. Overview the operation of the Flash EEPROM Module. Realize how to configure the clocks, timers, system protection, power and memory control logic and bus timing within the USIU Module. Understand the operation and application of each major peripheral subsystem of the MPC5xx MCU. Create and compile C code and/or assembly language programs in the lab sessions. Download, trace and debug lab programs to manipulate memory, initialize and control the on-chip peripherals.
Prerequisites:	It is strongly recommended that students have a basic understanding of microcontroller operations. Prior knowledge of a RISC-based architecture, advanced MCU concepts and semi-autonomous peripherals would be helpful. Although not required, it also would be beneficial if students possess previous MCU design experience or familiarity with C, C++ or assembly level programming.
