Course programme

Overview
It is a 5 days hands on course that will cover network configuration and troubleshooting ( using e.g. the Wireshark protocol analyser ), TCP/IP protocol stack installation as well as sockets programming and TCP/UDP application level programming.
This is a taught course with labs, with a split of about 60% teaching and 40% labs.
The course will use an ARM7 target board with an off chip ethernet controller peripheral, the EWARM IDE for target board programming a commercial TCP/IP protocol stack (Micrium) and an open source TCP/IP protocol stack (uTCPIP).
Note: This course can be tailored to use other target boards and protocol stacks, including IPv6 protocol stacks if required. Contact FTT for further details.

Course Benefits
On completion of the course attendees will understand how to integrate a TCP/IP protocol stack library into their applications. They will also understand the main techniques for configuring and troubleshooting TCP/IP networks in general and networks containing embedded systems in particular. They will also be able to develop sockets based client - server applications ( both TCP and UDP ) and be able to develop applications that make use of protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP and SNMP.
