General
Embed is a software application for developing and prototyping microcontroller (MCU) firmware on embedded systems. With Embed you cand model and simulate systems of equations using block diagrams, state charts, or C code. You can automatically generate C code or MCU specific firmware from any block diagram model. Embed supports over 1200 MCU targets including families from Arduino, Linux (Raspberry Pi, AMD64), Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, as well as Windows based PC. You can also interactively send and receive real time data between the MCU and the Host PC using Hotlink, a JTAG-based high-speed bidirectional communication link provided as part of the Embed application.
This session is part of a five-class series but can also stand by its own.
These are the sessions being part of that series:
- Session 1: Embed - Getting Started
- Session 2: Embed - Introduction to Embedded Development using the Arduino Uno
- Session 3: Embed - State Charts
- Session 4: Embed - Advanced Features
- Session 5: Embed - Firmware Development using the Texas Instruments F28069M
Prerequisites:
It is recommended to have attended the Embed – Getting Started and the Embed – Introduction to Embedded Development using the Arduino Uno sessions beforehand.
Goals and Objectives:
- State Charts – Basic Blocks, Connections, Properties
- Passing Data between Block Diagrams and State Charts
- Transitions – Guards and Triggers
- Actions – entry, Do, Exit, On Trigger
