Who Should Attend

From embedded developers to hobbyists and enthusiasts who are willing to create their own Operating System.

This course is hands-on: you will be guided step by step through the creation of a working Operating System, from the ground up.

Target Audiences

From embedded developers to hobbyists and enthusiasts who are willing to create their own Operating System.

This course is hands-on: you will be guided step by step through the creation of a working Operating System, from the ground up.

In this course you will learn how to create an Embedded OS, really from the ground up.

You will be guided step by step in the creation of each and every technical software module composing an embedded operating system, as well as in the development of your own target device on the bench (optional: you can use a free simulator or a ready-to-use Starter Kit), starting with basic electronic components and an industry-standard processor.

You will learn how to create device drivers step-by-step for real hardware components like displays, SD card storage, Wi-Fi, Inertial Movement Units (IMU, i.e. accelerometer and gyroscope), USB communication, analog Joysticks, thermal camera modules and more.

By the end of this course you will master system-level programming in the assembly and C languages, as well as the technical processes governing the interaction between CPU and memory. Thanks to the numerous hands-on experiences and practical demonstrations, you will develop the ability of gaining full control on the machine by manipulating CPU registers, stack, instruction pointer, return addresses, and much more. At the end of the software development part, you will learn how to create a portingto another architecture, like x86.

Although the hardware development part is optional, if you have access to an electronics lab you will also develop the ability of prototyping your circuit, designing and assembling your own target PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
