Embedded Systems
Embedded systems programming involves writing code for microcontrollers and specialized hardware, requiring deep understanding of hardware and real-time constraints.
Overview
Embedded systems are specialized computing systems designed for specific functions. They often have limited resources and require real-time performance.
Embedded programming involves working close to hardware, managing memory carefully, and ensuring reliable operation under constraints.
Key Technologies
Key Concepts
Microcontroller Programming
Write code for microcontrollers with limited memory and processing power, optimizing for size and speed.
Hardware Interfaces
Interact with hardware through GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART, and other communication protocols.
Real-Time Systems
Design systems that must respond to events within strict time constraints.
Low-Level Programming
Work with registers, interrupts, and direct memory access for efficient hardware control.
