Description
Embedded Systems Cellular Firmware Development (GSM) course. This course teaches the development of mobile and cellular firmware systems for microcontrollers in order to add mobile network connectivity to embedded devices. This specialized course teaches engineers and programmers how to develop the necessary drivers and libraries to add cellular and communication capabilities to embedded devices. This course uses the STM32 microcontroller and the GSM/GPRS model A6 chip, which is a low-cost, quad-band chip that supports global communication bands. The drivers developed in this course can be used on almost all cellular chips on the market due to the use of UART communication. The structure of this course is divided into three main parts. The first part focuses on theoretical topics, concepts of cellular technologies, and principles of GSM architecture. In the second part, bare-metal drivers are developed to interface the A6 chip to the STM32 microcontroller, and efficient data structures are implemented to manage communications. In the final part, the drivers and data structures are combined to create a complete library for connecting to the cellular network and implementing real-world projects such as sending SMS, making calls, and transmitting sensor data. In addition, participants in this course learn how to fully understand basic concepts such as SIM card operation, the differences between different generations of telecommunication networks including 1G to 5G, and the differences between communication technologies such as GSM, LTE, and WCDMA. This course provides the practical skills necessary to design and implement network-connected hardware systems, allowing developers to control their hardware automatically and through time-based events or alarms.
