USB and Ethernet Interfacing for Embedded Systems (DS24-6-0)

SynopsisThis 1-day course will provide an overview of the various requirements needed to be considered when incorporating the Ethernet interface and the USB port into an Embedded System. Topics covered include the operation of the two interfaces at the lower physical and the middle network layers, hardware circuitry needed for the interfaces, software drivers and operating system consideration, system support requirements, processors and chipsets availability, and development tools.

Also included will be discussion on the operation of the overall embedded system, and features that can be implemented.
