Embedded Fun with RISC-V/ Part 2: Embedded Applications
About Course
Learn about the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture by creating applications in an actual RISC-V microcontroller! See many applications developed on a RISC-V embedded microcontroller board. We’ve chosen an inexpensive board so you may follow along if you want.
This course is part of a hands-on curriculum where you’ll get some basic experience on the design and development of embedded applications using a RISC-V core. So far, this curriculum contains the following courses:
- Part 1: The RISCV ISA. Where you’ll learn about the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture.
- Part 2: Embedded Applications. Where you’ll learn how to create basic applications using the on-chip peripherals.
After learning about the RISC-V ISA, it’s time to talk about Embedded Applications using the awesome GD32V Dev Board by Seeed Studio. At $6.90 a piece, this is the cheapest microcontroller board I know. However, you’re certainly not required to purchase anything. If you don’t intend to acquire a board, you may successfully take the course by only watching the videos and written material.
Since the purpose of this second course is to get you acquainted with a RISC-V microcontroller, we’ll cover the following topics, and more:
- The Development Platform
- The GD32 Board, by Seeed Studio
- Segger Embedded Studio
- The development process
- GPIO
- Analog I/O
- Reading analog input with an ADC
- Creating analog signals with a DAC
- Timers
- Input Capture
- Output Compare
- Generating periodic signals
- Pulse Width Modulation
- Serial Communication
- Serial Peripheral Interface
- The I2C interface
- Asynchronous serial communication (UART)
- Universal Serial Bus (USB)
- Interrupts
- The RISC-V interrupt model
- Interrupt-driven development process
