CEC Semester Seven 2015

It isn't uncommon for developers to default to a real-time operating system (RTOS) when developing an embedded system. As it turns out there are a number of scheduling techniques that can be used to achieve real-time performance before an RTOS is...

This session will review important concepts every developer needs to understand when developing an embedded system using C. These concepts will form the foundation for topics the rest of the week. These concepts will include a look at scope...

The CCS C Compiler has a wealth of built-in serial EEPROM, serial SRAM, real time clock and digital potentiometer IC drivers, enabling creation of unique device drivers for AM/FM data radio modules, WiFi modules, Bluetooth modules, sensor modules...

Bluetooth Low Energy technology is bringing phone-based sensor monitor and control applications to the forefront. Putting together the embedded hardware and sensor firmware is the relatively easy part. Placing those pretty widgets on the phone's...

TCP clients and servers have become the "thing" in the embedded world. The Microchip PIC microcontrollers have the necessary hardware attributes to participate in this new "world" and the CCS C Compiler has the firmware tools to support them...

When it comes to embedded USB with a PIC microcontroller, you namethe task and the CCS C Compiler can probably do it. Today, with the help of the CCS C Compiler, we will breathe life into USB-enabled PIC devices. We will use the CCS C Compiler to...

Microchip has recently announced a number of 8-bit microcontrollers that contain the Enhanced Mid-Range Core. This lecture will demonstrate how to exploit the advanced features of these new microcontrollers using the CCS C Compiler.

One common function of M2M or IoT nodes is to use HTTP to communicate via simple web pages. This allows a sensor (and perhaps control) node to interface with a human via a web browser as well as with other machine nodes. We will design and build a...

For our final day we will wrap up by testing out our design and seeing if we met our objectives with the IPv6 stack that we chose. We will then look at IPv.6 solutions from other sources, including stacks included in currently available real-time...

We will begin our development by setting up and testing out some simple IPv6 functions: Ping, Neighbor Discovery, and the sending and receiving of simple TCP and UDP packets.
