Free 8 bit MCU online training

27 March 2002 News

Motorola is now offering free web-based technical training to enable engineers to develop embedded systems using its 68HC08 family of 8 bit flash microcontrollers (MCU).

"With this self-paced online training developed for Motorola, customers can now spend more time on areas needing additional focus, and skip or speed through modules they already know," said Paul Grimme, corporate vice president and general manager of Motorola's 8/16 bit MCU Division. Motorola worked with TechOnLine to provide the new self-paced web training. The seven hours of training is divided into 11 technical training modules.

These are created specifically for online delivery and can be accessed at http://www.motorola.com/mcu These 68HC08 training modules consist of: central processor unit (CPU); computer operating properly (COP); serial communications interface (SCI); serial peripheral interface (SPI); timer interface; resets and interrupts; low-voltage inhibit (LVI); clock generation; flash; timebase; and analog-to-digital (A/D).
