Learn how to use ICU(Input Capture Unit) Driver of Autosar MCAL Layer. ICU Driver represents the Input Capture Unit peripheral of Automotive MCU's. This Peripheral is used to sample external signals coming our from sensors in the form of PWM Signals and Digital High-Low Signals. Main purpose of ICU driver is to identify the Duty Cycle, Frequency, time period and Rising-Failing Edge events of external digital signals, based on which sensors readings are calculated by microcontrollers. Sensors like HLW8012 Current sensor, Keypad Modules, DHT11 Temperature sensor and many other work are connected to Host MCU via Input Capture Unit Peripheral.

Different Automtive MCU's have different features and naming convections in their Input Capture Unit peripheral, so its means their would be different software drivers for using ICU peripehrals of these MCU's. But  ICU Driver of autosar MCAL layer provides the universal standard stack for using the ICU peripehrals. So their might be different features in ICU peripherals but their basic working and fucntionalities given are same and can be used by ICU driver of Autosar MCAL Layer for any automotive MCU.

So in this course we will dwell into understanding and learning of how to use the Input capture unit Driver. of Autosar MCAL Layer. We will learn the usage of ICU driver by making different functional demo codes demonstarting the different features of ICU peripherals. Demo codes like to calculate frequency, duty cycle, time period of external signals. We will learn what Configurations we have to do in ICU driver to use different features of ICU peripherals, why to do them and how to do them. Followed by we will learn what API's to use, what parameters to send and in what chronolgoy to APi of ICU Driver has to be used. All these things would not be theoritical based, instead it would be total handson activity involving the use of NXP S32K144 MCU via our ElecronicsV3 Development Board.

We will also relate the MCU peripheral register level changes that took place and would be important to monitor when using the different API's of ICU driver.

 

After this course, user would be proficient on how to sample and collect external PWM/Digital High-Low signals via any automotive MCU using ICU peripehral and Driver. Which will make the user skill-able to interface differnet kind of sensors which sends data in the form of PWM signals.

Throughout the course, we will be using NXP S32K144 Automotive MCU via ElecronicsV3 Development board. S32K144 MCU has Autosar MCAL RTD Software Driver Free of Cost to use its peripehrals, as comapred to all other automotive MCU's. For Autosar MCAL Code configuration, we will be using NXP S32 Design Studio IDE which has integrated MCAL GUI Code Configuration Tool.

So now lets understand the course, by at first understand the what is ICU driver and what features does it bring on. Followed by explanation on how to cofnigure ICU driver with respect to its different features and then we go indepth into understanding of ICU Driver API's, parameters and chronology to use the. In the last we will make 3-4 Functional demo codes from scratch to demonstarte the usage of ICU Driver in Automotive MCU via Autosar MCAL Layer

 

Course is on Development, it will be ready by Second week on October.
