Description

Mastering STM32 Microcontrollers: Learn Bare-Metal Programming and Overcome Boilerplate Code

Description: Are you intimidated by the boilerplate code generated by CubeMX or Standard Peripheral Library when learning STM32 microcontrollers? Do you come from an 8-bit microcontroller series background and struggle to navigate the complexities of STM32 families? Look no further than this course.

Designed and tested on STM32F4 Discovery board, this course's learning curve is equally applicable to other STM32 families. It focuses on the day-to-day tasks that embedded developers face and cuts through the complexity of STM32 families to teach you the skills you need.

With only a basic understanding of C programming and previous knowledge of Embedded Systems and Electronics, you can start this course. You'll learn how to use Keil UVision 5, which is perfect for programming from scratch or bare-metal programming. The skills you learn from this course can be applied to any STM32 compiler and duplicated on any CMSIS-supporting compiler.

You'll also gain valuable knowledge in finding desired peripherals and their registers from the reference manual and datasheet, allowing you to extend your knowledge and experience when needed. You can even use the registers in Attolic TrueStudio or STM32CUBEIDE.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to overcome the biggest barrier to learning STM32 microcontrollers and develop robust embedded systems from scratch. With the ability to navigate the complexities of STM32 families and program at the register level, you'll be able to quickly troubleshoot and fix problems or easily adopt new peripherals when needed.

In this course, you'll learn how to develop efficient drivers for GPIO, ADC, and USART with minimal code using CMSIS Core. You'll master bare-metal programming on STM32 microcontrollers and learn how to develop robust and reliable embedded systems. This course is ideal for anyone who wants to gain a deep understanding of the STM32 microcontroller architecture and develop highly optimized and efficient embedded systems.

Throughout this course, you'll work on a variety of hands-on projects, including blinking LEDs, reading analog sensors, and using interrupts to respond to external events. You'll learn how to leverage the power of the STM32 microcontroller to build complex embedded systems that can handle real-world tasks. You'll also learn how to optimize your code for performance and memory usage and how to debug and troubleshoot common issues.

This course is taught by an experienced embedded systems engineer who has worked with STM32 microcontrollers for several years. The instructor provides clear and concise explanations of complex topics and ensures that all concepts are explained in a way that is easy to understand. You'll also have access to a supportive community of like-minded learners who can help you with any questions or problems you encounter during the course. By the end of this course, you'll have a deep understanding of STM32 microcontrollers and the skills to develop efficient and reliable embedded systems.
