1 C Refresher, Advance C, Coding Standard, Misra C Compliance & Real-time Programming Course Overview This course transforms an IT-Professional or a Student into an expert C Programming Person with concepts related to C Syntax, Advance C Concepts towards using C with Electronics or System Projects, Coding Standards and Coding Ethics towards Tight Code projects and to develop coding for Real-time projects using Linux. Objectives Students successfully completing this course will have a sound understanding of C programming. You will understand the basic C data types, arrays and pointers. You will have a good appreciation of data structures and their uses, and the use of pointers to data structures and arrays of data structures. You'll learn how to use arrays to implement circular buffers and how to use them, and how to use arrays to implement stacks, and the uses of software stacks. You will also be introduced to basic techniques of memory management and programming with dynamic data structures - being able to implement circular buffers and stacks using singly linked and doubly linked lists. You'll also learn techniques for implementing interrupt handler code in C, multi-module programming including applications containing a mixture of C and assembly language modules, and techniques for manipulating hardware registers and special function registers.

2 Days: 5 Course Pre-requisite Basic knowledge of C programming language Basic Knowledge of Linux Commands and Usage C as programming language An Introduction to C C Basic data types Integer types Floating point types Pointers (pointer arithmetic, pointer derefencing) Arrays The relationship between arrays and pointers Enums Programming constructs if - else statements switch statements while loops and do - while loops for loops goto statements Functions in C Function prototypes Understanding C's call by value mechanism for passing arguments Implementing functions Calling functions Using pointers to pass values by reference Passing arrays to functions Understanding C's return value mechanism Using pointers to return values by reference Data Structures Defining data structures

5 Misra C Coding Guideline (The Motor Industry Software Reliability Association) This is mission critical coding standard. Undefined, unspecified and implementation-defined behaviors in C. How the compilers may take advantage of undefined behavior. Explicit casts and implicit casts: balancing, promotion, usual arithmetic conversions, etc. Enumerated, integer and floating-point types: representation and operations. Common integer pitfalls: overflow, sign error, extension, truncation, etc. Common floating-point pitfalls: error propagation, comparison, excess precision, etc. Arrays, strings, pointer types and associated programming errors: access outside bounds, null-termination, truncation, offby-one errors, etc. The purpose of MISRA C and its role in improving code quality. * * * * * * *
