Welcome to the Introduction to Embedded Systems Software and Development Environments. This course is focused on giving you real world coding experience and hands on project work with ARM based Microcontrollers. You will learn how to implement software configuration management and develop embedded software applications. Course assignments include creating a build system using the GNU Toolchain GCC, using Git version control, and developing software in Linux on a Virtual Machine. The course concludes with a project where you will create your own build system and firmware that can manipulate memory.

Embedded System Development Components
Module 1 will introduce the learner to the components of your embedded system software development process. This module will be a quick overview for many topics with detailed analysis to follow in later modules and courses. We start with defining the hardware and software building blocks of Embedded Systems which will include a C-programming refresher. Next you will learn about the important tools a developer will need to use to help design, build and manage their designs. This includes development environments, version control and the hardware kits to install on. Learners will install and use a Virtual machine to complete Week 1 Application Assignment.

Compilation with GCC and GNU Make
Module 2 will introduce the learner to the software development build system. Most software engineers are very knowledgeable about their build system as we need them to translate our high-level software languages to our architecture specific implementations. There are some important platform and architecture concepts that are introduced in the build system to help enforce good software design techniques. Learners will create their own build systems and utilize build tools to analyze their embedded software implementations.

Memory Types, Segments and Management
Module 3 will begin to introduce important embedded concepts like the memory systems in their design. Learners will understand how the software to hardware mapping occurs for their designs including differentiating between your program code and your program data. Memory systems have many platform and architecture dependencies, and you will begin to learn about some of the fundamental concepts a software engineer needs to know to utilize all parts of an embedded system’s memory.

Course 1 Final Assessment
During this week you are to going to combine what you have learned in modules 1-3 to write some memory manipulation software, incorporate into your build system and then run some test functions. At the end of the assignment you will perform a detailed code review of other learners’ software. Reviewing other learners code is very important for both your growth of software design but also for the coder to gain valuable feedback. Professional software engineering regularly go through software reviews when developing code.

от партнера HHJan 5, 2020
I have done a few computer science courses already and some of them were related to embedded systems. This is one of the best so far.\n\nHigher level than a introductory course.\n\nHighly advisable.
от партнера SCOct 9, 2019
The course was excellent for me, as a beginner. Of course, the learning curve was steep and the assignments challenging, but I learnt a lot. Thanks you Coursera and University of Colorado, Boulder.
от партнера RVMay 30, 2019
Excellent course. Refreshed all my concepts of Embedded System programming after a long time. Very good introductory course for Campus freshmen who needs to start working on System SW Development.
от партнера CSJul 1, 2018
Great coursework. It makes you explore C , GNU's tool chain and Memory segments which are all essential for Embedded Systems. I'm very much excited and thrilled to share my experience to others.
от партнера UKJul 8, 2019
Covers the fundamentals well. At times a bit fast but one can always go back a few step and rewatch the lessons till thd concept is clear. The assignments are challenging enough.
от партнера AASep 21, 2017
The instructor is good, explains clearly and simply and looks friendly.\n\nThe subtitles in Lecture 4 from lesson 1 is not correct at all.\n\nSo far so good.\n\nThanks Coursera !

A real added value for engineers who wants to have a more detailed view on automated build (Make, .. ) and a more in depth knowledge to the memory mapping and other things.
от партнера MFJun 21, 2018
It was excellent and very informative course, though it would have been so much better if we stayed longer on the topics with more practical examples.
от партнера IADec 11, 2017
An excellent introduction to embedded systems with a lot of rigor. I will recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning about embedded systems
от партнера BBNov 11, 2017
Please opt this course for beginning in embedded/ software system domain with aim to capture all the aspects involved in developing sound software.
от партнера PKNov 4, 2019
The course is good in general esp the contents but the assignment part has loophole that people use just to get them passed without doing any work.
от партнера MMFeb 8, 2019
A great course and you will learn a lot. A great fair amount of time and effort by the instructor and team in putting up these lectures.
от партнера MMJun 11, 2018
Very informative course if you don't know about memory sections and Makefiles. But the last programming assignment is a bit uneasy.
от партнера VCFeb 14, 2018
Excellent course. Could do with more videos on Makefile and more interaction of the instructors and mentors in the forums.
от партнера MMFeb 23, 2020
Excellent course! My only recommendation, is to add additional reading material regarding the generation of makefiles.
от партнера VSAug 2, 2019
Although this is my first experience with Embedded systems and software developments, I was able to grasp more
от партнера PPSep 10, 2019
Good refresher of basic embedded concepts. Excellent introduction to GNU tools and Embedded Software concepts
от партнера VRNov 24, 2019
Not for the uninitiated!\n\nIntroductory, but very hard to follow if you're not familiar with some concepts.
от партнера MNJun 19, 2018
Very good and detailed course, to the point info. totally recommended for beginners and intermediate level
от партнера CCMar 18, 2018
Good course with useful materials. Would really like to see the rest of the specialization materialize.
Часто задаваемые вопросы
Когда я получу доступ к лекциям и заданиям?
Зарегистрировавшись на сертификацию, вы получите доступ ко всем видео, тестам и заданиям по программированию (если они предусмотрены). Задания по взаимной оценке сокурсниками можно сдавать и проверять только после начала сессии. Если вы проходите курс без оплаты, некоторые задания могут быть недоступны.
Что я получу, оплатив сертификацию?
Оплатив сертификацию, вы получите доступ ко всем материалам курса, включая оцениваемые задания. После успешного прохождения курса на странице ваших достижений появится электронный сертификат. Оттуда его можно распечатать или прикрепить к профилю LinkedIn. Просто ознакомиться с содержанием курса можно бесплатно.
Какие правила возврата средств?
Можно ли получить финансовую помощь?
Can I use a different, but similar development board in this specialization?
The specialization supports assignments and grading only on the MSP432 development board. The course material can translate to other development kits and students are welcome to take this course with their own embedded system, but grading will only be supported and graded with only the MSP432.
And just a reminder that the first course of the specialization doesn’t require you to order any hardware. You will need to obtain the following microcontroller development kit to use for project work in later courses of the specialization: Texas Instruments Launchpad - MSP432p401r. This evaluation kit is available for about $13 US dollars. More information about ordering the kit will be provided in the course.
