g. Cortex-M33 Implementation Data

h. Complete block diagram of the Cortex-M33 processor

i. Cortex-M33 instruction set

2. A dedicated module on Arm’s system-wide Trustzone security technology.


Coverage of new topics include:

a. Secure and Non-secure worlds and their features

b. Attribution units

c. Security requirements addressed by TrustZone covering


communication, protection, firmware and data operations.

3. Refreshed lab exercises based on the ST NUCLEO-L552ZE-Q board with


updated code, libraries and a new exercise on implementing Trustzone’s Secure
World features.

Course Aim

To produce students who can design and program Arm-based embedded systems and implement
them in low-level hardware using standard C and assembly language.
Learning Outcomes
• Knowledge and understanding of

◦ The attributes of a modern Embedded System including constraints on operating system,


programming language and choice of microprocessor or microprocessor.

◦ Armv8-M processor architecture including Trustzone technology as applied to Cortex-M33


microcontrollers.

◦ Software design basics, software engineering principles.

• Intellectual

◦ Ability to choose between different programming techniques for embedded system design.

◦ Ability to evaluate implementation results (e.g. speed, cost, power) and correlate them with
the corresponding programming techniques.

• Practical

◦ Ability to use commercial tools to develop Arm-based embedded systems.

- Ability to build an Arm-based embedded system and program to satisfy given user
specifications.

- Ability to run simple programs that utilize the security features of TrustZone in Cortex-M33
devices to access secure and non-secure IO ports.
