Know Us

Established in March 1988, as a Scientific Society of the Department of Information Technology (formerly, Dept. of Electronics), Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (formerly The Department of Electronics), Government of India, The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), is primarily an R&D institution involved in the design, development and deployment of advanced Information Technology (IT) based solutions including a range of high performance parallel computers known as the PARAM series.

C-DAC, Hyderabad is engaged in research in the domains of eSecurity, eLearning, Supply Chain Management, Open Source Software, VLSI and Embedded Systems Design. The centre is also committed to provide postgraduate level training in embedded systems design, VLSI design and advanced computing with the following objectives:

• Knowledge Creation through R&D and learning
  
• Knowledge Application through projects, products and services
  
• Knowledge Dissemination through training and development of new courses
  

As part of this initiative, the centre regularly conducts short-term courses to meet the industry needs in the areas of Embedded Systems, VLSI design and software technologies.

The Workshop

With the growing importance of the embedded systems, the need to design embedded applications with micro controllers having advanced features is gaining prominence.

ARM, an Advanced RISC Machine is emerging as the de facto standard for embedded RISC processing across communication, networking, consumer, portable, automotive and multimedia application markets. ARM offers an array of cores, architectural extensions, microprocessors and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions, all using a common software architecture.

This means that the same software will run across the entire product range.

A significant architectural advantage of ARM's technology is the proven industry leading performance in low power consumption or MIPS per Watt. At a low cost per MIPS of processing power, ARM' s partners offer some of the most competitively priced solutions in their class, enabling rapid growth of new consumer products.

There is a growing need for embedded engineers to understand and work with the ARM Processor Family Architecture and software development tools. GNU tools are significantly used under such developmental environments. This 2-day workshop will enable participants to understand ARM architectures, its 16-bit (Thumb) & 32-bit ARM instruction sets and programming using GNU tools. The course has an equal emphasis on classroom lectures and hands-on sessions.

The Faculty

C-DAC, Hyderabad is a National Resource Centre of C-DAC for offering a postgraduate diploma in embedded systems design. The workshop will be conducted by C-DAC's technical members as well as experts from the industry.

Targeted Participants

The workshop is designed for professionals from the industry, academia and R&D institutes with the interest to learn and explore Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) and it's powerful features.

Pre-requisites: Working knowledge of micro processors/micro controllers and C Programming under Linux environment.
