What You Will Learn
Assembly isn’t dead—it’s the secret language of embedded systems. By the end of this free course, you’ll:
Decode ARM Cortex-M Architecture: Understand registers, the Program Status Register (PSR), and why 32-bit processors rule IoT devices.
Write Lean, Mean Assembly Code: Move data with LDR/STR, crunch numbers with ADD/SUB, and control logic flow with Branches.
Bridge Assembly and C: Export Assembly functions to C (and vice versa) like a bilingual developer.
Build Real Hardware Projects: Blink LEDs, configure GPIO pins, and make a $10 microcontroller obey your every command.
This isn’t theoretical—it’s the foundation for everything from smart thermostats to Mars rovers.
Prerequisites
A TM4C123 Tiva C LaunchPad ($10): Your ticket to hands-on learning.
Keil uVision5 (Free): The IDE used by ARM pros worldwide.
Basic Curiosity: No embedded systems experience required.
Leave your fear of hex codes at the door. Bring coffee.
Course Description
Why Assembly Still Matters in a Python World
While everyone’s busy with Arduino sketches, you’ll be learning the machine’s language—the skill that lets you squeeze every drop of performance from hardware.
Here’s Why This Course Rocks:
Free & Forever Access: No paywalls, no upsells. Just pure, unfiltered knowledge.
4 Hours of Bite-Sized Lessons: Learn while your microcontroller boots up.
Project-Based Learning: Code 3+ projects, including GPIO configuration and C/Assembly integration.
STM32F4 Bonus Content: Apply skills to popular boards like Nucleo and Discovery.
Sample Project: Program a LaunchPad to blink an LED using only Assembly—no libraries, no training wheels.
Who This Course Is For
Embedded Newbies: You’ve tinkered with Arduino but crave deeper control.
CS Students: Stand out in interviews by explaining how code actually runs on silicon.
Hobbyists: Build robots, drones, or smart home gadgets without relying on pre-cooked libraries.
Pros Seeking Depth: Debug firmware like a boss by reading disassembly.
Not For: Web devs scared of registers.
Course Content
