Description

The fastest and easiest way to learn C Programming in Linux and Embedded Systems.

Many embedded programming courses make huge assumptions about your C programming and embedded knowledge before dropping you into the deep end of a complicated architecture or microcontroller. In this course, I intend to fix that. Here, I'll first teach you how to program in C in a way that is example driven. We'll start each lesson with a presentation and end it with an example problem. Next, we'll discuss what embedded C means. Finally, we'll program an embedded program in raw C on a microcontroller.

This course will teach you from start to finish how to program in C. Additionally, this course will teach you how to navigate the intimidating world of C programming as it applies to embedded systems. We'll navigate how to read a datasheet, and how to interpret that datasheet, and then use that information to write code for the microcontroller commonly found in the Arduino, the Atmega328p. An Arduino is beneficial to have for the end portion of this course, but not required.


What You'll Learn:

  • How to Program in C from the ground up

  • Embedded C vs Regular Linux or Windows C

  • How to Interpret a Datasheet

  • How to Compile C for an Embedded Microcontroller Target

Who Should Take This Course:

  • A new programmer who wants to learn C

  • A new programmer who wants to learn the difference between system C and embedded C

  • An Arduino hobbyist who wants to take their knowledge to the next level

What You Will Learn!

  • Understand the basic types in C as it applies to embedded development
  • Understand how pointers work in C
  • Understand how structures work in C
  • Understand how arrays work in C
  • Be able to describe the differences between microcontrollers and microprocessors
  • Understand the nuances between regular C programming and baremetal embedded C programming
  • Be able to read and understand a microcontroller datasheet
  • Be able to write C for the Arduino or Atmega328p
  • Be able to blink an LED on and off without the Arduino IDE using raw embedded C

Who Should Attend!

  • You're a beginner programmer who wants to learn more about the C programming language.
  • You've been programming for a while but never learned about embedded programming.
  • You're a novice C programmer who wants to prepare for a full length embedded course.
