FPQ6 | MPC8313E implementation |
This course covers PowerQUICC II Pro MPC8313
Objectives
|
- The knowledge of the following interconnect standards may be required:
- PCI, see our course reference cours IC1 - PCI 3.0
- Gigabit Ethernet, see our course reference cours N1 - Ethernet and switching
- USB 2.0, see our course reference cours IP2 - USB 2.0
- Cours théorique
- Support de cours au format PDF (en anglais) et une version imprimée lors des sessions en présentiel
- Cours dispensé via le système de visioconférence Teams (si à distance)
- Le formateur répond aux questions des stagiaires en direct pendant la formation et fournit une assistance technique et pédagogique
- Au début de chaque demi-journée une période est réservée à une interaction avec les stagiaires pour s'assurer que le cours répond à leurs attentes et l'adapter si nécessaire
- Tout ingénieur ou technicien en systèmes embarqués possédant les prérequis ci-dessus.
- Les prérequis indiqués ci-dessus sont évalués avant la formation par l'encadrement technique du stagiaire dans son entreprise, ou par le stagiaire lui-même dans le cas exceptionnel d'un stagiaire individuel.
- Les progrès des stagiaires sont évalués par des quizz proposés en fin des sections pour vérifier que les stagiaires ont assimilé les points présentés
- En fin de formation, une attestation et un certificat attestant que le stagiaire a suivi le cours avec succès.
- En cas de problème dû à un manque de prérequis de la part du stagiaire, constaté lors de la formation, une formation différente ou complémentaire lui est proposée, en général pour conforter ses prérequis, en accord avec son responsable en entreprise le cas échéant.
