The focus of the first e-learning lies on very general basic terms that are relevant to most bus systems. For example, the terms bit rate, baud rate, latency, clock signal and router are ex-plained, or what a protocol and a protocol stack actually are. At the beginning of the e-Learning, typical application areas of serial bus systems and their advantages over other systems are de-scribed.The second e-learning deals with the OSI model, which is a reference model for communication systems and protocols. Two components of this model are particularly relevant for bus systems: the so-called physical layer and the data link layer.
The next two e-learning courses are based on these mentioned layers. One of them covers basic terms of the physical layer, the other one those of the data link layer.
Last, but not least an introduction to cyclic redundancy check CRC is given. - Duration: 2 hours, 50 minutes

Cyclic Redundancy Check CRC
- Language: English, German
- Course objective: The aim of this course is to understand how to calculate various CRC checksums.
- Course content: The e-learning course consists of three e-learning units:
“CRC Definition," "CRC-8," and "CRC-16." In this course, you will acquire the necessary knowledge to understand the calculation of CRC checksums. The first module imparts the definition and function of the CRC checksum. The modules are organized in ascending order of CRC sums, and the calculations are always explained using examples.
In the "CRC Definition" module, we uncover its significance, explore various CRC lengths, and delve into its principles, including functionality, polynomial representation, and generator poly-nomial.
In "E-Learning CRC-8," we delve deeper into CRC-8 calculation, explaining steps with examples. Explore how the sender generates the CRC-8 checksum and how the receiver verifies message accuracy.
Continuing the journey, "CRC-16" explores CRC-16 calculation through detailed examples. Learn how CRC-16 is generated and verified, addressing diverse message lengths. Whether new to CRC or seeking a deep dive, this course empowers your understanding. - Duration: 1 hours, 20 minutes
- Study time: 6 hours, 40 minutes

Operating Systems OS: Overview
- Language: English
- Course objective: The aim of this course is to provide a basic knowledge of operating systems and the various components and functions they contain.
- Course content: In inIn this course, you learn what an operating system is. Therefore, you are familiarized with the kernel, which holds the core functionality of the operating system and you get to know the scheduler, which controls the execution of multiple tasks and allocates resources to them. This is covered in greater detail in the chapter “Multitasking”. To complete this course, safety and other advanced aspects are covered as well as the characteristics of embedded operating systems.
