I agree that in future, embedded software development will become less dependent on the hardware knowledge of the engineer. But for the same reason, I believe that engineers with good knowledge in both hardware and software will be in greater demand.

I agree to a certain extent, i think what he refers to when he says "not know so much about the hardware" is the chip itself, its becoming less and less important to know the registers of a microcontroller when you can use the vendor api, however you still absolutely must know what hardware you are programming because the vendor api knows nothing about it...if you are writing firmware for a very custom synchronous bucks converter and your code is switching MOSFETS you better believe that if you switch the two wrong Mosfets are the wrong time some smoke will come out. I think the more rare a species of engineer becomes the more sought after you are, thus the more money you can ask for, imagine years from now when all the young kids love embedded but dont know an ARM M0 from an M7 , the guy that does know his stuff will be the young lads manager lol

Well, I think that is not exactly true. Doing embedded software development using a hardware of given capacity will most likely look the same in the future as it looks now. Working with a small device, having 1KB RAM, a few registers and 4 I/O - a developer needs to know the HW details - now and in the future. Working with a embedded-Linux-capable-device a developer does not need to know the details about the HW since it is just another Linux box (a bit smaller of course). I think that in the future more embedded development will happen with more powerful devices (which are getting cheaper and cheaper) and thus less knowledge of the HW will be required (because those devices are able to run extra software - like Linux OS - that takes care of the details).

Sounds fun! I know what I'll be looking into for the coming three-and-a-half months!

I have involved both of them but in my university courses I have done some Embedded Software and Software Engineering there is big difference In Embedded you have to know many things like you mentioned Hardware and you need to have deep understanding about the hardware you working on then you are able to code and also Network protocols. I think the most concern about Software Engineering nowadays is to code secure code to avoid any bugs which can lead a problem to the organisations like data breach and so on.

Hi, Your videos are informative. Thank you very much. I'm senior CS student and thinking about pursuing a career in embedded systems. The thing that is stopping me is that I see most people saying that embedded system software engineering involves a lot of data sheet and schematic reading (some say it takes 90% while coding is only 10%). Do you think that is true? I don't mind reading data sheets and look to schematic from time to time but not to spend majority of my time on it. What was your experience? Do you think reading data sheets makes the job look less like coding (or engineering) related job?

In a sense you’re correct, but it depends on the product you might work on. I.e. if you work on OS dev then you’ll most likely be heavily involved with data structures and algorithms, or think about self driving cars and the data they need to handle (lots of stuff going on there). On the other hand if you might work on a small startup prototype project that runs on a small 8-bit architecture, you’ll be very limited on what you can actually accomplish and do with data structures. Most commonly used data structures for embedded: linked lists, circular buffers, stack, heap, queue, binary trees, probably a some other I’m missing Most common algorithms (totally depends on projects you work on…): Sorting, search, compressions (bit packing is most typical one), DSP (FFT, FTR, filters), probably a bunch of others that I’m missing here (anyone… feel free to correct me or add onto this)

@@GreidiAjalik Thank you for your reply; it is immensely helpful to talk to a real embedded engineer in real time (pun somewhat intended)! My background is in physics but I am very interested in embedded software so all my sources of information (and, potentially, misinformation) is from the internet so I am thankful for the opportunity to connect and communicate with a professional working in the field. Now, I had also read that the heap isn't used much in embedded software because of some issues dealing with the speed in which the requested memory can be allocated. From my understanding, it is something as follows: when a user requests memory from the heap, it can take some time for the processor to find space in the heap that is equal in size to the requested amount. Furthermore, because data isn't stored sequentially in a heap (unlike in a stack), storing and fetching data can be unacceptably slow (in situations where timing is critical). Is my understanding correct? Also, I suppose that there are no strict "rules" that says that a certain data structure or algorithm can and cannot be used; I suppose that it all depends on the context and the project in which you're working. Using the heap might be acceptable in some contexts but not others. Is this a good way to think about it?

Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been traveling for work and been super busy because of that. Feel free to add me on LinkedIn to connect! I think you have a good understanding and of course heap is used, but depends on the processor used and your own use case… if your embedded software is very strictly limited in memory you’d want to avoid using it. There are some pitfalls that come along with using heap for embedded so you’d want to be careful with doing that…

MSc embedded systems engineer here, this dude absolutely know what he is talking about. major differences, objectives, descriptive, pure, understandable. He is nice.

Perhaps one more difference is the number of stacks/languages each career option requires you to learn.

As a regular software engineer, I need to know something like 5-10 languages.

C and C++ also have many complicated features, such as C++11, 14, and 17.

On the topic of "less hardware knowledge required". What are your thoughts on HALs (Hardware Abstraction Layer)? They seem particularly popular in the Rust ecosystem. It's definitely more effort in the side of the chip maker, and maybe (?) one looses a small bit of understanding for what's going on, but at the same time it often does make things just so much easier, and I wonder if you think that that approach will stay, or if it's too much effort, or of something else will succeed.

It will stay and become even more generalized. I think it’s really moving toward a general software dev approach. Just my personal opinion though. Also I’m assuming you’re talking about HAL libraries provided by manufacturer or some other third party? In general they are ok to use (depends which ones some can be buggy), but when you have a time critical system I would not recommend it as they have a lot of additional code that just slows the process. You can always modify those drivers for your own need and lose dependency on the maker of those libraries. Hope this helps, sorry for the late reply :(

They focus on requirements, reliability, process, quality, etc. For example. Embedded System Engineer would focus on designing the whole embedded system on how it should work an interact with different parts of itself (hardware, low and high level software, applications). Embedded software engineer would focus on the design of the low and high level software. Embedded hardware engineer (or just hardware engineer) would do the hardware layouts. Electrical engineer would do the design of the schematics. There is some overlap in these ares.
