What You Will Learn
You will build your skills step by step by working directly from the command line. Each section introduces a new tool or concept, then guides you through integrating it into a working firmware project. Hands-on exercises help you connect theory to real embedded development tasks.
Key Features
- Set up and configure GNU Arm tools, linker scripts, and startup files for STM32 projects
- Automate and troubleshoot firmware builds using Makefiles and command-line workflows
- Integrate CMSIS and manage bare-metal development with practical, real-world examples
Target Audience
This course is ideal for embedded developers, firmware engineers, and STM32 enthusiasts who want to master the build process outside of an IDE. If you have a basic understanding of C and microcontrollers and want to gain practical experience with GNU Arm tools, linker scripts, and Makefiles, you'll find this course especially valuable.
