Great video, thank you, Mr. Jacob, for starting a new session of Embedded Systems that will help a lot of us to learn, understand and deal with Embedded Systems filed.

Thanks for the awesome content, I hope you decide to keep the Embedded stuff coming! I’m a CS grad w about 9 months in Industry. This stuff is hard to learn on your own but it has been a blast! Quality content is gold when going about this solo!!

Great! As a electronic engineer this is the main thing I am interested when it comes to programming (apart from Labview programming).

Your content always amazes me as a cs student. It’s always rich and straight to the point, I almost can’t imagine it’s free. Idk if anyone pointed that out but I really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for this video, Sir. It helped to solve lots of my doubts. I love embedded systems programming and I am from Computer science engineering. I will get a raspberry pi this week.

I just got into embedded systems about a month ago. I already have prior experience with C so I decided to skip the Arduino route and start writing code for the STM32 family. I've tried a couple other microcontrollers but I'm loving STM32 so far. It's been a little difficult at first since I had no guide, I was kind of messing around for a couple weeks trying to understand everything but now I'm at a point where I can write some useful software I can use in real life.

For code, I just spent a lot of time reading the data sheets and at first used STM32Cube but later just used template makefiles and wrote a lot of code “manually” where I only defined the addresses I was going to use and created simple functions that activated GPIO or timers depending on the project

Clang is great for bare metal development and now you can use it for AVR :). LLDB on bare metal does not exist unless you write python stub to have "thread context", so GDB still is the easiest choice to have debugging of embedded systems

Thank you sir.

Would really love to see videos addressing data structures and algorithms as applied to constrained embedded devices. Really tired all the videos/books on high-level software principles that totally ignore embedded environments. Lets start with systems where no heap and no dynamic memory allocation are allowed. Lets apply some critical thinking on how we can improve programming in this environment. Embedded devices are not going away.

If you're willing to spend a little money, I can recommend two things. 1. Is the dsPIC line of microcontrollers from Microchip. Their Explorer kits come with breakout boards and swappable processors. The dsPIC33 family is quite nice. 2. Get into SoC (Sytem On Chip) boards like NXP's sabrelite (I think it's called something else now) but essentially it runs Yocto Linux and will give you ability to do embedded Linux on a breakout board like a raspberry Pi but more inline with what you may see in automotive or more advanced systems.

Any language that is first compiled to C (or that you have a cross compiler for), can then be compiled for your microcontroller.

I believe LLVM has its own custom intermediate language. I would guess that Rust uses C as an intermediate. I really don't know about the functional languages like Haskell. But, the point is that two different Haskell compilers could do it differently-one could compile to ASM and then to executable code, or it could use C as an intermediate step.

FPGA's are good for making your own pseudo-hardware-basically describing a circuit you would like to have in a hardware description language (HDL) and it will use it's large arrays of LUTs to implement your circuit. This is super useful when I need it, but I find that learning on a microcontroller in C is a bit gentler when you're just starting.

Professor, i'd appreciate some advice. I'm currently third year CS student and i took Embedded systems course this semester just to try it out. It's one of my favorite courses so far and i'm really thinking about it as a career path. (we are using arduino) However, i'm not sure how to justify 2 more years of only software work that's gonna take up much of my precious time to get really good at this stuff, realistically i could work on it after school work maybe for 1-2 hours on most days. I don't have any digital signaling course or anything like that, Operating systems and Computer architecture is the closest thing i've had to this. Couple of questions: 1. How do CS majors do in this field? (I'm eager to learn deeply like you proposed) 2. Am i in a tight spot with this background regarding embedded systems? I'd hate to only be able to focus on it when i graduate. 3. I have this idea of slowly making turning my house into a smart house, however i don't really have any frame of reference of how much it would take to get required skillset and what are all the things i need to know for stuff like this? (Turning on lights and locking doors from mobile app etc.) My C is solid at least. :) Any advice is appreciated!!!

Not sure how I missed this comment, 8 months ago. 1) I was a CS major, and I've done fine. I did have to learn some stuff about circuits and electricity on my own, but it wasn't too difficult. More generally, the students I hire in my lab are usually CS majors or EE/CE majors. In both cases, there is a learning curve. I have tried to structure my lab so that lab members help train each other in the areas they're weak in. It works pretty well. 2) That's hard to say. I'd say, if you want to do it, do it. 2 hours a day is more than most spend on it, and it's better than nothing. How long it will take you to be great at it will depend on you - it's really hard to predict without knowing a lot more about you. 3) Sounds like a fun project. My advice is to start small. Learn to program a microcontroller. Then learn how to interface with stuff (like a sensor or an actuator that could lock a door). Explore wireless communication techniques. Working small-to-large like this, will help you do something useful, even if you don't make it all the way to the full DIY smart home, before running out of time, money, and patience Solid C is a good starting point. Best of luck.

This depends a lot on your hardware and your computational resources. Some of the more dynamic features of C++ can be problematic when resources are really tight. But, that's also true of C. For example, I typically wouldn't use standard dynamic memory allocation (malloc/free) on an MCU with 2kB of RAM. Just too many risks. But, on a Raspberry Pi, you can probably use either without too many concerns.

I honestly don't have much experience with them. They seem like a solid option, though.

@@JacobSorber Thank You 👍, thank you very much for your support and time 😉

I've recently started getting an interest in embedded software development as a career. Am I completely out of luck because of my degree? It's in IT, though I've recently been employed as a web developer in training?

Of course not. There's always room for course corrections. You just need to pick up the pieces that you're missing-and it's never been easier to pick up missing educational pieces.

during the whole video I thought if enderman will spawn in left corner of the room lol

Thoughts on Rust for embedded systems?

Personally I want to learn c++ and I want to go to a trade school and learn communications electronics. So I want to learn about circuit boards, and signal waves and that sort of stuff.

Hi, I want to build career in embedded system. Write now I am looking through some job portals in Germany. Besides the MCU programming and interfacing skill many company ask as requirements like "- Experience in software development with c/c++. - Experience in software development in linux environment". I don’t know what these means. Can you explain these?

Thanks for the video! You said your research is based on the MSP430 microcontrollers, do you know of any good resources (books, websites) to learn how to use it? You caught my attention when you said that it's great for low power consumption applications, and it would be perfect for my future projects. One last question, what other microcontrollers do you recommend for the beginner to learn on from the Texas Instruments family? Most of the time, people recommend the Atmel (now Microchip) and STmicroelectronics boards, but I'm not familiar with ITs boards at all.

Please make a course with only one microcontroller of your choice from ground up. There are no courses which really makes you understand what's happening inside the microcontroller at the level of gates and Boolean algebra. It may take some time but it would be really helpful for many out there.

On udemy there are great courses on embedded c and microcontrollers.

Teaching young people to program devices! What can possibly go wrong? :) I can see kids trying to reprogram mom's washing machine and instead of the occasional sock going missing the washing machine goes into orbit! 😀
