Advanced BSP Development with Embedded C is an advanced-level course designed for experienced embedded developers ready to master low-level firmware design. As embedded systems grow in complexity, production-grade reliability depends on your ability to control every aspect of board initialization—from startup code and memory layout to peripheral abstraction and register-level configuration.
In this course, you’ll go beyond SDKs and boilerplate to build your own board support package (BSP) from the ground up. Through short expert-led videos, hands-on driver development, interactive coaching, and real-world case examples from companies like Tesla, TP-Link, and STMicroelectronics, you’ll gain deep control over how your firmware boots, maps memory, and communicates with hardware.
Whether you're writing for custom boards, optimizing performance under real-time constraints, or designing reusable drivers for cross-product platforms, this course will help you write firmware that’s not only correct—but truly production-ready.
This introductory lesson breaks down what happens in the first milliseconds of embedded execution. Learners will explore startup code and linker scripts to define how their board boots and how memory is mapped. Case studies like NASA’s Mars Rover and NXP’s modular linker strategies help bring these low-level concepts into real-world focus.

Module 3•2 heures à terminer
Détails du module
In the last lesson, the larners learn to extract what matters from hardware datasheets and memory maps. You’ll identify peripheral base addresses, decode register functions, and navigate bitfields with confidence. Case examples from TP-Link and STMicroelectronics show how datasheet literacy impacts debugging, safety, and scaling.

Chaitanya A.
’Apprendre, ce n'est pas seulement s'améliorer dans son travail : c'est bien plus que cela. Coursera me permet d'apprendre sans limites.’
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
