Build a strong foundation in STM32 bare-metal development by creating essential drivers for UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, and board-level interfaces. Gain the skills to set up your development environment and implement core communication and peripheral drivers from scratch. This course guides learners through the setup of STM32 development tools and the creation of fundamental drivers required for embedded systems. You will learn to develop and test UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, LED, and pushbutton drivers, as well as establish a robust board support package. By mastering these core interfaces, you will be prepared to tackle more advanced embedded applications and display integrations. Through clear explanations and step-by-step demonstrations, this course emphasizes understanding hardware documentation and translating it into reliable firmware. Learners will progress from environment setup to implementing and validating essential drivers, building a solid base for further embedded development. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to build a complete and cohesive understanding of the subject. While it offers valuable skills on its own, you'll gain the most benefit by progressing through all three courses as a structured learning journey.
