Description
==> This should be your very first course to dive into the exciting world of "Embedded Systems." <==
This is our new course mainly targeted for absolute beginners to learn microcontroller programming using the 'C ' programming language.
Please note that "Embedded C" is NOT a separate programming language. 'Embedded C' is rather embedded target aware programming using traditional 'C' programming language.
Some of the critical microcontroller-related 'C' concepts such as
Importance of bitwise operators
Usage of bit manipulation techniques to program MCU peripheral registers
accessing memory-mapped registers using pointers
pointers and casting
structures, bitfields, unions, and bit extraction techniques
representing hardware registers details and configuring them using 'C' structure definitions
Usage of const and volatile type qualifiers
Interpret complex variable definitions involving the combination of const and volatile
The precise usage of const pointers, const data, volatile const, with pointer and non-pointer variables
The behavior of the code during compiler optimization and solution using volatile
Functions and friends
Data types, variables definitions, storage class specifiers and much more
Loops: while, for, do. while
MCU internal architecture and programming peripherals
Interfacing projects
All these concepts are discussed with clear examples and writing code for the target embedded board.
According to 2017 embedded dot com survey still 'C' is one of the most widely used programming languages for embedded code development
This course gives particular emphasis to learn 'C' programming concepts practically for microcontroller use cases.
Hardware:
1. You need ARM Cortex M4 based STM32F407 DISCOVERY board from ST if you want to try out code on the target.
2. Additional interfacing components may be required for interfacing projects
3. You can also be able to follow this course if you have any other boards from ST such as Nucleo or evaluation.
Software:
1. In this course, Eclipse-based STM32CubeIDE is used as the IDE ( works on Windows/Linux/Mac) (FREE)
