Arm Cortex-M Architecture (In Arabic)

    This course introduces the ARM cortex architecture for Cortex-M processors. It covers; the register bank in details, memory map, and NVIC for exceptions and interrupts. Core-peripherals will be covered through the course like; SysTick, DMA, and NVIC. Also, the main concepts in ARM cortex that will be used in real-time operating systems (RTOS) will be introduced.

    It is a mandatory course for ARM programming. If you are targeting to be get hired by an Embedded Companies, then this topic is important to enroll as ARM Cortex is everywhere in high-performance MCUs in market.

   The course has 15 lectures.
