The PCI
training (reference 002596A) is
recommended for designers using the PCI
interface
Only a few points are shared by both
MP826X courses
MVD also delivers training courses around
embeded OS which can be useful : Embeded Linux,
OSEK
Prerequisites
Experience of a
digital bus is recommanded
Course Objectives
This course
describes the 60X and local bus operation
Data flows between
L1, L2 and SDRAM are viewed in detail
An SDRAM
introduction shows the page management in
multiple-bank SDRAM
The PCI interface
is viewed in detail
The course explains
how to find GPCM, UPM or SDRAM machine
timing parameters from timing diagrams
Duration
2-day course
Topics
(The full description of this course
can be provided on request)

Documentation
Training manuals will be given to participants
during training. Precise and easy of use, those
notes can be used as a reference afterwards.
