COMPLETE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS Roadmap - What Arduino Won't Teach You

An extensive overview of the embedded systems landscape, covering electronics, microcontrollers, RTOS, and professional development paths beyond Arduino.

Internet of Things and embedded devices run the world, but there's a lack of good content on becoming a professional embedded engineer and escape arduino tutorial hell. Here's a crash course on electronics, memory, microcontrollers, FreeRTOS, zephyr and everything you need to get coverage of the field and get started! Watch the extended intro meme: youtu.be/CvmyuDrvk5g Do you need a degree? youtu.be/QFLw7I9f5zc Bluetooth Low Energy: youtu.be/b9IWLOH3R8o Get good at debugging: youtu.be/6FOMonXJcVw I2C, SPI, UART: youtu.be/IjjZcnwkrAg Yapped about DACs/ADCs: youtu.be/5sjKnz7ETiQ How I design electronics: youtu.be/TWkb8mXjiBA Grab the document (requires Xournal++): hoff.industries/files/embedded-overviews.xopp Good STM32 tutorials (not sponsored): deepbluembedded.com/stm32-arm-programming-tutorials/ Chapters: 00:00 - meme of the day 00:14 - Intro/Overview 01:08 - How to approach embedded? 02:22 - Get good at debugging! 03:00 - BUILD YOUR PLATFORM 03:31 - C Programming is KING 04:56 - Choosing a Microcontroller 06:57 - Bare Metal vs RTOS 10:06 - Interrupts and Polling 11:17 - More on RTOS 11:53 - FreeRTOS vs Zephyr 13:43 - Hardware Abstraction Library (HAL) 14:33 - HARDWARE PERIPHERALS 15:17 - General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) 16:22 - Timers 16:51 - Watchdogs (WDG) 17:28 - Analogue Peripherals (ADC/DAC) 19:03 - Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) 19:34 - COMMUNICATION BUSES 20:07 - I2C, SPI, UART 20:52 - Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 21:34 - MQTT 22:23 - Zigbee 22:43 - CANBUS and Differential Signalling 24:10 - EMBEDDED MEMORY 25:17 - Memory-Mapped IO (MMIO) 26:09 - Port-Mapped IO (PMIO) 26:36 - Direct-Memory-Access (DMA) 28:46 - Memory Types (SRAM, EEPROM, Flash) 30:16 - ELECTRONICS 31:07 - Fundamentals 31:34 - Resistor Dividers and ADCs 32:44 - Misc.
