Embedded Software and Hardware Architecture is a first dive into understanding embedded architectures and writing software to manipulate this hardware. You will gain experience writing low-level firmware to directly interface hardware with highly efficient, readable and portable design practices. We will now transition from the Host Linux Machine where we built and ran code in a simulated environment to an Integrated Development Environment where you will build and install code directly on your ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller. Course assignments include writing firmware to interact and configure both the underlying ARM architecture and the MSP432 microcontroller platform. The course concludes with a project where you will develop a circular buffer data structure.

TOP REVIEWS FROM EMBEDDED SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
Excellent course for the introduction of ARM Cortex Architecture. It gave me insight on Micro-controller inter routines.
This was excellent. The instructor is very clear and easy to understand. The hardware was never needed though?
Excellent Course by Alex. The slides and the material is top notch. Looking forward to the other courses.
All the videos are very helpful. All concepts are taught well. More hands on assignments could be added to course.
