There are 3 modules in this course
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.

Learners will dive into device driver design—from GPIOs to UARTs—and learn how to build safe, reusable modules that communicate with hardware using register-level logic. Case studies from Tesla’s Autopilot system and STMicroelectronics’ STM32Cube highlight best practices in high-reliability environments.

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.
