Is it necessary to enroll in a training course to learn embedded software programming? [Copy link]

 

I posted this thread to ask, how do you become an embedded system expert? I am currently working on hardware. After each hardware test, the board is handed over to the software department for debugging. Because I don’t understand the program (such as the driver under the Linux system), I always can’t get started. Now in my spare time, I use an STM32 development board to learn programming by following the video of a famous development board. However, their videos are not very detailed, and the code logic is not very clear, so I feel that I learn slowly. At the beginning, I felt that I had no idea how to write code. Now I have read and copied a lot, and slowly I can write some code by myself, but my coding level is still very low. I just want to ask, in this case, is it necessary to sign up for a training class to learn?

I personally think it would be best if someone could guide you. So depending on your conditions, if your finances and time allow, it is feasible to enroll in a training course.

Participated, it's the best

If you have money, you can apply. If you don’t have money, you can study on your own

Just listen online.

Is it available online?

No need at all. Smart people can find ways to do it anywhere.

It is available on this site. EE University Hall.

If you want to develop Linux drivers, you can learn STM32, which is nothing more than a great improvement in C language and hardware bare metal programming. If you want to design Linux system drivers, I think you can find a hardware platform, such as Allwinner or RK, and build the environment, compile the system, etc., and then there is a long way to go. If you have money, you can sign up for a class. Personal opinion, haha

It's about the same, but it's more hardware-oriented. I'm not very interested in pure software design.

That's fine. You already have an understanding of hardware knowledge. You should have no problem with timing, bus, and IO. Besides, you have a basic understanding of C, or you can directly install a virtual machine and write a driver in the virtual machine. There are many tutorials on the Internet. Of course, this driver does not involve hardware control for the time being, but simply registers with the system kernel
