Securing embedded systems has become a critical task for developers. It is nearly impossible to turn on the news and not hear about yet another major security breach. In this webinar, attendees will become familiar with the design methodologies necessary to secure their embedded systems using the new Arm(R) TrustZone(R) for Cortex(R)-M processors. We will examine important concepts, such as Secure and Non-secure domains, setting up a TrustZone RTOS and debugging a secure application. 

This webinar will provide a hands-on demonstration, powered by the Arm Cortex-M23 processor, which is the first Cortex-M processor to support TrustZone. We will use Arm Keil MDK to demonstrate how to get TrustZone up and running on both hardware, and also in simulation, using a virtual processor. 

Topics covered in this webinar Include: 
– Introduction to TrustZone 
– Defining the Secure and Non-secure world 
– Example use cases to secure an application with TrustZone 
– Implementing FreeRTOS™ in the TrustZone environment 
– How to debug a TrustZone-based application 
– Best practices for securing an embedded system 
– Recommendations for next steps

Real-time Operating System (RTOS) Fundamentals Workshop

Embedded systems are becoming complex and even resource constrained devices are requiring a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). In this workshop, attendees will be walked through RTOS fundamentals starting with simple bare-metal scheduling techniques through the intricacy required to design a RTOS based application. Attendees will examine practical examples and techniques that will decrease the learning curve and help them avoid the common pitfalls many developers fall into when starting to use an RTOS. The course includes six sessions:

Session 1 – Real-time Embedded Systems Concepts
Session 2 – Real-time Operating Systems
Session 3 – Managing Tasks and Threads ( Part 1)
Session 4 – Managing Tasks and Threads ( Part 2)
Session 5 – Task Synchronization Fundamentals
Session 6 – Managing Memory

Live Session Schedule:

Session 1 – January 11th, 2018 1:00 P.M. ET
Session 2 – January 25th, 2018 1:00 P.M. ET
Session 3 – February 8th, 2018 1:00 P.M. ET
