Embedded Foundations
Understand constraints and the hardware/software boundary.
- MCU / SoC concepts
- Memory and I/O
- Interrupts
- Timing and constraints
- Embedded software architecture
Connect software to hardware behavior through embedded C/C++, Embedded Linux, BSP concepts, drivers, interfaces, debugging and product-level engineering practices.
The exact sequence is adjusted to the audience. Foundation topics can be compressed for experienced teams; architecture and troubleshooting can be expanded for advanced programs.
Understand constraints and the hardware/software boundary.
Use systems languages safely in constrained environments.
Understand how devices exchange data.
Move from firmware to Linux-based devices.
Understand platform-enablement layers.
Diagnose device behavior methodically.
Exercises emphasize observation, implementation, failure and diagnosis rather than command copying.
Inspect an Embedded Linux boot sequence
Cross-compile a small application
Explore device-tree / driver relationships
Diagnose a simulated device communication failure
Trace a service interacting with a device interface
Hardware-dependent labs can be adapted to available boards, simulators or the customer's platform.
