Brock LaMeres introduces the fundamentals of embedded systems, comparing them to general-purpose computers and exploring common applications.

This video works best if you have my textbook and are following along with the video. Get the book here: amzn.to/32vpsEY. This video covers section 1.1 in the textbook "Introduction to Embedded Systems Design using the MSP430FR2355" by Brock LaMeres. This video gives an overview of what an embedded systems is, a comparison to general-purpose computers, and covers some applications of this type of computer.

On “WANT TO BE AN EMBEDDED DEVELOPER .”

I have been following the lectures of this guy on YouTube (Dr. Lameres) link to this video My only other expierence with embedded systems was taking a class on Verilog programming in undergrad and I find this guy very beginner friendly. I'd highly recommend getting a MSP430 on a Texas Launchpad and not just watch the lectures.

On “I want to learn about the cortex-m architecture so that I could be comfortable and know to program STM32's in depth since they use it. Now, I am a complete beginner and coming from mobile development. Is there a course or learning or guides that you can recommend? Explained more below.”

The book by Joseph Yiu is great, but if you're someone who understands more from Tutorial videos then I would suggest this playlist : [video Also, the best way to learn is getting your hands dirty. I think you're imagining or at least trying to get the perfect approach for learn cortex-m programming by understanding the concept of architecture, etc. It may backfire. Instead, I would suggest get a development board which has on board debugger, take an online course and start coding. Learning assembly will be helpful, but most programming is done in C and the better you can code, the better chances are of getting a good job. Good Luck.
