Course Description
Explore the fundamentals of Embedded C programming with this comprehensive free online course. Perfect for beginners in information technology, this course dives into the principles of computer program creation and standardization, guiding you through the process of generating files in C. You'll learn about host and target machines, the essential hardware and software, and how to install necessary software on your PC.
The course covers key topics such as binary to decimal and hexadecimal conversion, how computers store numbers using 1s and 0s, and delves deep into C-specific topics like escape sequences, comments, variables, data types including char and int, ASCII, as well as local and global variables. You'll also explore more advanced topics like typecasting, operator usage, and control structures in C.
In addition, experience a detailed look into ARM architecture, understanding ARM Cortex M processors, buses, little and big-endian concepts, along with specific architecture explanations for STM32F446RE and TM4C123GH6PM. The course provides practical exercises on writing a 'Hello World' program in Embedded C using the Keil uVision IDE, accessing CPU operations on ARM Cortex M processors, and practicing with various operators and conditional statements.
The hands-on approach extends to functions, arrays, pointers, and their use in accessing memory and interfacing with hardware. Gain insight into CMSIS standards for modifying programs, utilize preprocessor directives, and interface with pushbuttons and LEDs using STM32F4 and TM4C123 series. Additionally, familiarize yourself with key concepts such as the use of volatile and const keywords, unions, structure bitfields, and much more, equipping you with the necessary skills to build efficient embedded systems.
