Study of the architecture of the core of the ARM-Cortex CPU and peripheral controls of the STM32 Microcontroller, the most commonly used in the Internet of Things. The learning takes the student through the software development of the main peripheral drivers. The programming method differs from the 1st year course in the sense that recourse to a high level library is favoured rather than direct access to registers. The professional development tool, Keil, is used and the de-bugging is carried out both in simulation and on the MCBSTM32 target.
