BSP Development Training
Industrial Embedded Software & Multi-MCU BSP Architecture Design Single architecture, single-button build regardless of MCU. Vendor-independent BSP approach.
- 100% hands-on laboratory sessions (real hardware)
- Vendor-independent, multi-MCU BSP architecture
- (ST/TI/Microchip/Nuvoton…)
- Debugging, logging, and industrial fault analysis (product-oriented approach)
The BSP Development Training is a hands-on and architecture-focused program designed for engineers who want to develop industrial-grade embedded software.
It covers vendor-independent BSP design, the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), and multi-MCU architectures on real hardware.
By the end of the training, you will reach a level where you can design a scalable infrastructure that maintains the same architecture across different MCU families.
This training is designed to break vendor-dependent development habits and to build sustainable BSP architectures.
With a single-architecture approach, it aims to produce scalable solutions across different MCUs.
