This module explores the essential elements of the embedded build process, including bootloaders, memory models, and linker scripts. Learners will gain an understanding of firmware initialization, memory mapping, and the tooling required for bare-metal firmware development. It provides practical knowledge for analyzing and implementing embedded systems effectively.

This module provides an in-depth exploration of secure firmware-over-the-air (FOTA) update processes, focusing on creating and implementing firmware processor files, parsing firmware data, and managing memory operations. Learners will gain practical skills in firmware development, including writing bytes to flash memory and ensuring safe update execution on devices like the ESP32.

This module covers the essential steps for preparing and updating firmware in STM32 microcontrollers, including memory layout, linker scripts, vector table configuration, and safe flash programming. Learners will gain practical knowledge on how to implement firmware updates securely and efficiently.

This module covers the essential steps for setting up an Amazon AWS account and configuring access keys for secure firmware storage and local development. Learners will gain practical skills in managing AWS credentials and integrating them with Python using Boto3. The module also emphasizes secure firmware-over-the-air update workflows.

This module covers the essential steps for setting up and configuring AWS S3 for secure firmware updates. Learners will gain hands-on experience with uploading firmware, managing bucket permissions, and integrating S3 for OTA updates. The module emphasizes practical implementation and security best practices.

This module focuses on validating system behavior through testing, particularly in the context of an AWS firmware update system. Learners will understand how to confirm that a project functions as intended in a real-world setup.
