What You Will Learn

You will start by comparing procedural and object-oriented approaches in embedded firmware. Step by step, you will build driver classes for various microcontroller peripherals, applying OOP concepts like encapsulation and RAII. By integrating multiple peripherals, you will see how to create efficient, reusable, and structured firmware.

Key Features

  • Develop modular driver classes for GPIO, UART, SPI, timers, and sensors
  • Apply encapsulation and RAII for safer, more maintainable firmware
  • Optimize C++ code for memory, speed, and hardware resource limits

Target Audience

This course is ideal for embedded engineers, firmware developers, and C/C++ programmers ready to move beyond procedural code. If you have experience with microcontrollers and basic C++ syntax, you will benefit from practical strategies to create maintainable, object-oriented firmware for complex hardware projects.
