Students will learn the fundamentals of C programming for embedded systems, covering memory management, peripheral interfacing, and real-time system requirements.
What you’ll learn in this course:
- Gain an understanding of C syntax, memory handling, and data structures for embedded systems.
- Interface with microcontrollers, GPIO, timers, and other peripherals.
- Implement real-time constraints and optimize code for speed and memory usage.
- Develop skills in debugging and troubleshooting hardware-software interactions.
- Create robust embedded applications through hands-on programming and testing.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Write and debug C code to interface with microcontroller hardware.
- Develop code that controls and monitors embedded system peripherals.
- Utilize timers, interrupts, and other real-time mechanisms in applications.
- Handle memory effectively, ensuring reliability and efficiency in low-resource environments.
- Create a working embedded application that operates in real-time by the end of the course.
