This course intend to explore filter implementations and proof of concept task, so, we'll not introduce filter theory in the next video lessons.
Focusing in CMSIS DSP library we gonna implement IIR and FIR Filters, exploring Floating and Fixed point formats.
STM32CubeIDE is an integraded development tool you can develop different programs for STM32 microcontrollers
its advanced C or C++ development platform with bunch of peripheral configuration, code generation, compilation
and also debbuging features for all STM32 microcontrollers and microprocessors.
We'll also explore the STM32 CubeMonitor, witch is primarely a monitoring tool for STM32 microcontrollers running
embedded firmware. You can set and watch application variables at runtime for example.
The STM32CubeMonitor can be deeply customized by the user, as it relies on web technologies and more specifically
on the Node-Red. In this course, for example, we gonna create a interface to extract data from a user generated
spreadsheet, copy its content to runtime input variable, process this content, generate output content and store
the values in a output generated spreadsheet. This is all done inside the CubeMonitor interface.
Other important software resourses in order to generate filter coefficients and analyze graphically it's response
is the GNU Octave
GNU Octave is a powerful mathematics-oriented syntax with built-in 2D/3D plotting and visualization tools
its free and compatible with many Matlab scripts.
We gonna also use Excel and Notepad++ in order to manipulate our .csv Spreadsheets.
In the hardware side, we gonna use STM32F407ZGT6 Development board. We also need a ST-Link programmer if we
not choose the STM32F4Discovery development board, as this board comes with a ST-Link/V2 embedded debug tool.
For real time ADC application, as the video lesson 7, it's necessary aditional components as a Osciloscope in order
to analyse input and output signal in time domain. A signal generator, in order to generate the input signal.
And some Dupont Jumpers in order to connect those signals in the proper microcontroller pins.
