About Course

This course provides in-depth knowledge of automotive ECU bootloader architecture through a comprehensive theoretical overview of bootloader design for MCU-based ECUs. This Automotive ECU Bootloader Training is aligned with industry standards and real-world deployment challenges. Participants will explore the conceptual foundations necessary for developing robust bootloaders. Some sections will include illustrative code snippets to connect theoretical concepts with practical understanding.

The course contains 8 lessons each followed by a quiz of 5 multiple choice questions. After the course is completed a certificate of achievement is sent to participant.

Materials access duration: 3 months

Course Content

1. BootManager & Flash BootLoader
The bootloader is an essential part of an embedded system's software. It allows checking the validity of a main software application and loading it if it's the case. The second role is to allow updating the application if it is stored in a programmable flash memory using a communication protocol such as UDS (Unified Diagnostic Service).
