Zilogic is organizing a workshop on the ARM Bare Metal Programming. Writing startup code and linker scripts has been a dark art, mastered only by a few people. Lack of documentation has only aggravated the problem. Through this training programme we hope to unravel the mysteries behind these concepts, and help people join the elite few.
For firmware and RTOS developers, this knowledge will be useful for porting their software to different microcontroller. It will be also be useful for people who would like to delve into bootloader development and development of early boot code of the kernel.Read More ➠
