MULTI IDE (MUL-100)Course length:2 daysPrerequisites: None
This two-day course provides complete exposure to the MULTI® Integrated Development Environment (IDE), teaching
students how to fully tap in to all of its powerful capabilities while developing their applications.
The first day covers the basics of using the MULTI IDE. Students will learn how to create, build, and customize
MULTI projects as well as how to connect to targets and download and debug applications. Through both lectures
and hands-on exercises, students will learn the full extent of the MULTI debugger’s capabilities.
The second day covers how to use advanced tools—such as the Profiler and EventAnalyzer—to analyze and tune
applications for performance and memory usage. Students will also learn advanced techniques for using Green Hills
Software’s kernel-aware debugger to quickly find difficult bugs.
Topics covered
Building and debugging applications
Advanced Debug Tools (Profiler, EventAnalyzer and Run-time error checking)
Real-Time Programming with
INTEGRITY (INT-100)Course length: 3 daysPrerequisites:MUL-100
In this three-day course, students are taught the concepts of a real-time operating system (RTOS) and how the
INTEGRITY® RTOS applies them. Developed from the ground-up to be secure and reliable, the INTEGRITY RTOS
takes full advantage of a processor’s MMU or MPU to provide a fully memory-protected system. Students learn to
leverage this advanced technology in their applications.
The INTEGRITY RTOS provides a great degree of flexibility. Consequently, there are often several alternative
mechanisms developers can use to accomplish a specific objective, such as intertask communication. This course discusses
each mechanism in detail, so that students can understand which method would work best in their
application.
We start with sample product requirements, and work through the design and development process to produce a
final application. Along the way, students cover all the fundamental concepts behind developing an application
for a protected RTOS.
INTEGRITY RTOS (INT-101) Course length:3 daysPrerequisites:MUL-100 and familiarity with embedded RTOS concepts
In this three-day course, students are taught how to apply known RTOS concepts, such as task control and scheduling
to the INTEGRITY RTOS. Additionally, students are taught the underlying INTEGRITY data structures and communications
mechanisms, including how to incorporate these features into their applications.
Developed from the ground-up to be secure and reliable, the INTEGRITY RTOS takes full advantage of a processor’s
MMU or MPU to provide a fully memory-protected system. Students learn to leverage this advanced technology in
their applications. Advanced concepts, such as sharing memory between applications, are discussed in detail.

velOSity RTOS (VEL-100)Course length: 2 days Prerequisites:MUL-100
In this two-day course, students are taught how to apply RTOS concepts, such as task control and scheduling to the
velOSity™ RTOS. Additionally, students are taught the underlying velOSity data structures and communications
mechanisms, including how to incorporate these features in their applications.

In this two-day course, students are taught how to apply RTOS concepts, such as task control and scheduling to the µ-velOSity™ microkernel.
The µ-velOSity microkernel is designed to be a minimal-footprint microkernel, and special consideration is paid to evaluating size and speed
parameters of the various RTOS constructs.
The µ-velOSity microkernel provides a great degree of flexibility.
Consequently, there are often several alternative mechanisms developers can use to accomplish a specific objective, such as intertask communication.
This course discusses each mechanism in detail, so that students can understand which method would work best in their application.
Scripting is a powerful feature of the MULTI IDE which can be used to automate regression testing, target/host interactions, or even MULTI itself. The class covers MULTI scripting concepts including debugger scripts, the use of scripted breakpoints, the MULTI-Python integration, and related MULTI features.
MULTI: Trace and TimeMachine (MUL-300) Course length:1 dayPrerequisites:MUL-100
The MULTI TimeMachine™ debugging suite offers a wide variety of trace analysis tools that enable embedded software
developers to find and fix bugs faster, optimize with ease, and test with confidence. Students will get full exposure
to the TimeMachine suite and explore its ability to find and analyze complex problems.
INTEGRITY: Intro to Device Drivers (INT-210) Course length: 1 dayPrerequisites:MUL-100, INT-100 or INT-101
Because the INTEGRITY RTOS is a secure and reliable RTOS, it supports a unique protected device driver model in addition to
traditional device drivers. Students learn how to implement both types of INTEGRITY drivers as well as how to integrate
custom device drivers into a Board Support Package (BSP).
INTEGRITY: File Systems and Networking (INT-220) Course length:1 dayPrerequisites: MUL-100, INT-100 or INT-101
In this course, students will learn how to add and configure the INTEGRITY File System services and GHNet2 network stack. Topics
covered include tuning the modules for speed or size requirements, and using special features of the modules, such as the host_io filesystem,
for decreasing development time.
Expanding on the basics covered in the Core modules, this course show students how to take advantage of several advanced memory management tools
provided with INTEGRITY. Topics such as MallocPools, Shared Libraries, and using the Free Page List are covered.
INTEGRITY: Using POSIX (INT-223) Course length:1 dayPrerequisites: MUL-100, INT-100 or INT-101
The INTEGRITY RTOS provides complete conformance with the IEEE 1003.1TM-2003 (POSIX®.1) System Interfaces. This course will review the POSIX interfaces and how POSIX threads interoperate with INTEGRITY tasks. The POSIX section covers thread control and scheduling, mutexes and semaphores, and shared memory.
INTEGRITY: BSPs and Device Drivers (INT-300) Course length:4 daysPrerequisites:MUL-100, INT-100 or INT-101
This is a four-day course, with exercises for each section of the course. Students will be exposed to the complete process from bringing up a
new/untested board to booting from an INTEGRITY Application burned into flash.
We start with an overview of INTEGRITY’s startup sequence, and then explore each step of the process in detail. At the beginning of the course,
students are given a template of a BSP.Working with provided hardware, the students will construct the pieces needed for the BSP. By the end of the
course, students will have created a complete working BSP.
While BSPs can be different for different processors and peripherals, the course aims to educate students on the framework of constructing a BSP.
Students will be able to take the framework shown in class, and extend this knowledge for their custom boards. Students will understand what
sections of the BSP are provided by Green Hills, and where they need to make customizations for specific boards.
Topics covered
How to reserve memory for device drivers and when memory is available for kernel and application code
How INTEGRITY handles interrupts with minimum latency, and how to write device drivers to take advantage of this feature
How to connect and configure Green Hills’ hardware probes for a new board
How to add timers and clocks to an INTEGRITY system
µ-velOSity: FileSystems and Networking (UVL-220) Course length:1 dayPrerequisites: MUL-100 and UVL-100
