Here鈥檚 an overview of what you鈥檙e getting in this advanced level course

     

Developing bare-metal DMA Drivers:

This course completely demystifies the Direct Memory Access (DMA)peripheral. Over 50% of the course is spent on this topic, so that by the end of this course you would have mastered the DMA peripheral.

We shall thoroughly look at developing the following bare-metal DMA drivers.

    – Bare-Metal DMA Memory-to-Memory Transfer Driver

    – Bare-Metal ADC DMA Regular Conversion Driver

    – Bare-Metal ADC DMA TimerTriggered Conversion Driver

    – Bare-Metal UART RX/TX DMA Driver

    – Bare-Metal SPI RX/TX DMA Driver

    – Bare-Metal I2C  RX/TX DMA Driver

    – Bare-Metal PWM DMADriver

Developing bare-metal RTC Drivers:

The Realtime Clock (RTC) peripheral is another advanced peripheral demystified in this course. We shall study the theory of realtime clocks, take a look at the capabilies of the realtime clock on our microcontroller and then develop the following drivers for the realtime clock.

    – Bare-Metal RTC Calendar Driver

    – Bare-Metal RTC AlarmDriver

    – Bare-Metal RTC TimestampDriver

    – Bare-Metal RTC Tamper DetectionDriver

Developing bare-metal Watchdog Timer Drivers:

Watchdog Timers are an essential component of any robust embedded device. In my opinion, no embedded device should be released onto the market without the implementation of an Independent Watchdog Timer (IWDG). You will understand why I hold this opinion in the course.

        In this course we shall develop the following Watchdog Timer drivers:

            – Bare-Metal Independent Watchdog (IWDG) TimerDriver

            – Bare-Metal Windowed Watchdog (WWDG) TimerDriver

Working with Standby Mode and Wakeup:

Knowing how to put your embedded devics into Low-power mode and coming out of it will greatly improve your ability to developer power efficient embedded solutions. This course will teach you how to put your device into Standby mode and come out of it using different methods.

Specifically, we shall develop the following drivers:

   – Bare-Metal Standby Mode and Wakeup Pin Driver

   – Bare-Metal Standby Mode and RTC Wakeup TimerDriver

The Art of Debugging :

Knowing how to properly debug your firmware will save you lots of time and money, and may even prolong your life because of the level of frustration and stress you will avoid.

In this course you shall grasp the theoretical aspects of debugging, understand the various types of debugging such functional debugging and performance debugging, and learn the various tools and methods used in different scenarios.

       Some of the techniques we you will master include:

            – Methods of identifying the cause of HardFault

            – Catching anomalousresults

           – Measuring execution time of an algorithm using a Timer

            – Measuring execution time of an algorithm using a Logic Analyzer

            – Working with arrays dumps

            – Debugging techniques for Timers

With a programming based approach, this course is designed to give you a solid foundation in bare-metal firmware development for  ARM-based microcontrollers . The goal of this course is to teach you how to navigate themicrocontroller reference manual and datasheet to extract the right  information to professionally  build peripheral drivers and firmware. To achieve this goal, no libraries are used in this course, purely bare-metal embedded-c and register manipulations.

Still keeping it simple, this course comes in different ARM Cortex-M development boards  so that students can put the techniques to practice using an ARM Cortex-M development board of their choice. This version of the course uses the STMicroelectronics  STM32F4-NUCLEO which has an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontoller.

This is the Advanced level course for the world famous Embedded Systems Bare-Metal Programming Ground Up& (STM32).You have to take the Embedded Systems Bare-Metal Programming Ground Up& (STM32) before taking this course

So with that understood, let me tell you鈥?/p>

                                                                                     Exactly What You鈥檙e Getting

This is dramatically different from any course you have ever taken because it鈥檚 more of a professional hands-on 鈥渇ield guide鈥?to stm32 bare metal firmware development.
The reason why is because there鈥檚 no fluff or filler. It immediately gets down to the actual subject, showing you exactly what to do, how to do it, and why.

Plus, it鈥檚 easy.

And you鈥檒l immediately 鈥済et鈥?the entire mythology I personally use to build firmware for consumer devices in my professional life.

                                                                     

                                                                         It’s About MORE Than Just Getting the Code to Work

See, this course will change your professional life forever. Here is what one student had to say about the Embedded Systems Bare-Metal Programming Ground Up& (STM32) course :

  “I would suggest this course for all the beginners. The concepts have been covered in the right sequence.And also the best part of this lecture series is getting to know how to explore the reference manual and datasheets.”

Here is what another student had to say :

    “Extremly helpful to get to understand the uC programming deeper! For me it is much easier from now to develop code because I undertstand the base behind, so I’m more confident and more experienced to develop and debug the code. Really, this course is very useful to link the hardware knowledge with the coding skills. This fills the gap between them. Thanks for it! 馃檪“

A third student :

“I am a professional semiconductor chipset application engineer with 30 years in global embedded product design in system applications. I can say this teacher is very straight forward by sharing his many years knowledge to the students with his true heart. Yes. I love his teaching pace and style!“

                                                                               Taken by 8000+ Students with 1000+ Reviews

If at least one of the following applies to you then keep reading if not then simply skip this course:

” Escape From “

1. Copying/Pasting code you don鈥檛 understand

2. Using third party libraries and header files like HAL, LL and StdPeriph

3. Experiencing bugs you don鈥檛 understand

4. Being afraid of technical documentations like the reference manual and datasheet of the chip

5. Imposter syndrome

” Arrive At “

1. Building every single line of code from scratch by writing to the microcontroller鈥檚 memory space directly.

2. Using No third party libraries or header files

3. Understanding and writing every single line of code yourself- no Copy/Paste

4. Using the debugger effectively to analyze and resolve any bugs

5. Developing proficiency in your embedded development skills and confidently take the next steps

So like I said, there鈥檚 more than just getting each piece of code to work.

Here鈥檚 an overview of what you鈥檙e getting in this advanced level course

But it gets better because you  will also master.

The Art of Debugging :

Knowing how to properly debug your firmware will save you lots of time and money, and may even prolong your life because of the level of frustration and stress you will avoid.

In this course you shall grasp the theoretical aspects of debugging, understand the various types of debugging such functional debugging and performance debugging, and learn the various tools and methods used in different scenarios.

                                                           Specially Designed For People Who Hate Copy/Paste

Listen. If you don鈥檛 like 鈥淐opy/Paste鈥?you鈥檙e not alone. I can鈥檛 stand it either. I鈥檇 literally rather have a piece of code that I wrote from scratch that doesn鈥檛 work than someone else鈥檚 working code I copied and pasted.

And that鈥檚 why I鈥檝e spent months designing and recording this course in which I show you how to locate every single register used and the meaning of every hexadecimal value written into the register.

Also it comes with a money back guarantee so you have nothing to lose.

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!
