🤖🦾 EmbeddedSystems Roadmap

Here, you will find all the core topics and some suggested courses for those topics .

Notice that any roadmap is not sacred. You may find better alternatives to the suggested courses from your perspective. However, this roadmap contains all the core topic and you should go through all of them. So let's start

💻 What is an Embedded System?

It's a computer system with limited resources used for performing a specific task

C Programming

Topics covered: what is C formatted input/output conditions and loops data types functions arrays pointers strings structures unions and enums

Courses:

• Neso Academy ( recommended && Free course )

• OR Microcontroller Embedded C Programming: Absolute Beginners | Udemy (great course but paid)

Note : Beside these matierial, it is recommended to read the chapter(s) of each topic from C Programming: A Modern Approach by K N King

Advanced C

Here, we will learn more about pointers & thier core techniques for memory management.

Courses:

• Neso Academy: C programming (15 - 30).

• MycodeSchool: Pointers in C/C++

• Understanding and Using C Pointers: Core Techniques for Memory Management by Richard M. Reese

Introduction to Git and GitHub

First,what is the difference between Git and GitHub? - see this

You can learn about them from these resources:

• Git and GitHub | شخبط وانت متطمن
  The most common commands in git.

• Pro Git

                               Then, a large-scale project covering all studied topics.
  

Projects

There are some suggested C projects.

• Student System Record

• Payment Application

Data Structure

Here, we will learn the basic data structures stacks, queues, lists, trees and how to impelement them in C.

Course:

• CS214: Data Structures (Assignments, Book)

📃 Data Structure Articles:-

• Linked List
• Stack
• Queue
• Hash Table

Algorithm

Algorithms are the heart of computer science, and the subject has countless practical applications as well as intellectual depth.

Here, we will learn about asymptotic analysis Divide-and-conquer basics Searching techniques Sorting techniques

Courses:

• Grokking Algorithms Book
• Intro to Algorithm.
• Stanford course at coursera.

Intermediate Level

Note : before this level you should have a good knowledge with digital design and basics knowledge about electronics.

MCU Architecture

We will learn about Processor Internal Structure Processor Execution Steps(Fetch, Decode, Execute) Mcu Memory Types (OS vs Bare Metal, Van Neumann vs Harvard, CISC vs RISC) MCU Clocks(Clock Source).

MCU interfacing

Here, we will learn about DIO Interuppt ADC Timers Communication Protocols

Courses:

• NTI Course
• FWD Professional Track
• AVR - YouTube Course

Important notes

• The main reference during this stage should be from DataSheets.
