Course Content: 7. Demonstrate The Capability To Program The ARM Controller To Communicate With External Circuits

This document provides details about an ARM Processor course, including course objectives, units of study, and outcomes. The course aims to teach students about ARM embedded systems and the ARM instruction set. It is divided into 5 units which cover topics like embedded system hardware, ARM architecture revisions, ARM and Thumb instruction sets, exception and interrupt handling, and embedded operating systems. The course objectives are to analyze ARM processors, write programs using ARM and Thumb instructions, handle exceptions and interrupts, and understand future ARM architecture developments. Textbooks on ARM systems, architecture, and embedded systems are recommended.
