About the Course

Embedded Software and Hardware Architecture is a first dive into understanding embedded architectures and writing software to manipulate this hardware. You will gain experience writing low-level firmware to directly interface hardware with highly efficient, readable and portable design practices. We will now transition from the Host Linux Machine where we built and ran code in a simulated environment to an Integrated Development Environment where you will build and install code directly on your ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller. Course assignments include writing firmware to interact and configure both the underlying ARM architecture and the MSP432 microcontroller platform. The course concludes with a project where you will develop a circular buffer data structure. In this course you will need the Texas Instruments LaunchPad with the MSP432 microcontroller in order to complete the assignments. Later courses of the Specialization will continue to use this hardware tool to develop even more exciting firmware....

It was a very efficient course to refresh my knowledge on embedded systems. The lecturer's voice and the visuals that he has used were pretty supporting to concentrate on the videos.

This course helped me a lot to understand the microcontroller I use in robotics and finally o can understand the embedded software that make them work and how. Alex did a great job at that while keeping things simple even the quizzes. Some practice exercises could have been given to help follow along with the programming but i guess that's home work for me to do. Overall a very good course to get the basic understanding of arm functions. Architecture hardware and programming basics covered in great lengths with examples, Alex did a great job trying to keep it simple and straight to the point.

Once again this course has proven to be extremely informative, offering an in-depth look at the most critical features and skills required for practical embedded systems development. I only hope that Alex will be able to continue to produce these incredible courses. I would like to finish the full sequence. Thank you, Dave

A well paced course with an excellent content. I'd wish that I could have a course of this type in my degree, since there's no kind of course. I'd like to thank Coursera, Alex Fosdick and UCB that played an important role to guarantee to me and all students of the platform a true five stars embedded systems course.

I took on this course because I wanted it develop my understanding of software and hardware architecture. There were elements that I understood before hand but there were many areas I did not understand. Great course.
