As an embedded systems aspirant, we all keep pushing new things into our stack since the first year of engineering: C, C++, ARM, RTOS, Linux, Python, IoT, AI, Cloud… the list never ends. This curiosity stack, represented by a “?”, keeps growing downward—just like many other well-known system architectures. Exploration is good. But with time, you must pop out the non-relevant stuff and keep only what’s essential. 🔑 Balance exploration with elimination. That’s how your stack becomes strong, stable, and scalable. ❓ Which topic did you once add to your stack but later popped out? 1️⃣ IoT 🌐 2️⃣ AI / ML 🤖 3️⃣ Cloud ☁️ 4️⃣ Cybersecurity 🔐 #CareerGrowth #LearningJourney #KeepItRelevant #Engineering #microcontroller #microcontrollers #embedded #embeddedsystem #embeddedlinux #embeddedc #freertos #firmware #firmwareengineer #devicedriver #softwareengineers #electronics #embeddedsystems #embeddedengineer #embedkari #opentowork #freshers

Targeting Long term career ? but prefer to learn these 5 important skills in the short term. Not an easy task ... We cover all these in our Premium kit. If you are not preparing to pass in an interview, you are preparing to fail in an interview ....and further losing the confidence. We started String manipulation in our morning C lab today. There is one discussion on secure boot in the evening followed by STM32 clocking architecture experiments in the regular firmware lab at 8:45PM IST. In our meet-up program, we have completed first level projects in UART, I2C and SPI. Now we will move towards domain based projects. Join the 100 days mission ... #embedkari #embedded #opentowork #salarybadhao #5dayweek #naukribachao

Dear Embedded system aspirants, Add new skills in your portfolio. This self-paced course has some key concepts along with STM32 HAL. I finished discussion on Cache yesterday and we discussed additional questions on recursion in the late evening live session. We have planned a group mock interview for September batch today. We are just 4 day away from new Firmware batch. All developer kit courses have recorded courses of Learning C from scratch, Embedded C with 8051 , ARM baremetal driver, Operating system, Networking, RTOS, Digital Electronics, Getting started with C++ and Interview prepration. Live session duration is based on the Developer kit purchased. Have a nice time ! #embedded #embedkari #opentowork #salarybadhao #5dayweek #naukribachao #STM32

𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙫𝙨 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙀𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨 In embedded systems, the real challenge is not what to learn—it’s how you learn. 🚮 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 = 𝙋𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙝 Random tutorials that show code but not the why Copy–paste culture (works once, fails later) Jumping from RTOS → IoT → AI without knowing timers or memory Overuse of Arduino-style shortcuts 👉 Fast at first, but full of gaps in interviews & projects. 🏗️ 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 = 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 Foundation first → Basics → C → MCU → Peripherals → RTOS → Linux Hands-on: toggling GPIO with registers, debugging with tools Quality sources: datasheets, standards, trusted books Strong habits: document, question, iterate 👉 Slower at the start, but gives you a career that lasts decades. 🔍 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙩 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩? Ask: 1️⃣ Does it explain the WHY? 2️⃣ Is it vendor-neutral? 3️⃣ Does it show limitations? 4️⃣ Is it backed by datasheets/manuals? 5️⃣ Does it make you think deeper? If most answers are ❌ → It’s garbage. ⚡ In embedded systems, garbage in = garbage out. You can either collect random snippets… Or build structured knowledge, step by step. 👉 Systematic learning isn’t about speed. It’s about sustainability. #microcontroller #microcontrollers #embedded #embeddedsystem #embeddedlinux #embeddedc #freertos #firmware #firmwareengineer #devicedriver #softwareengineers #electronics #embeddedsystems #embeddedengineer #embedkari #opentowork #freshers

🌟 Embedded C – Advanced Concepts (Part 2) 🌟 After sharing the basics of Embedded C in Part 1, I’ve now created the second part of my learning slides – diving deeper into advanced topics that every embedded engineer should know. This part covers: ✅ Memory organization (stack, heap, data, bss) ✅ Inline functions, macros & low-level optimizations ✅ Endianness, atomic operations & critical sections ✅ Advanced peripheral handling – SPI, I2C, PWM ✅ RTOS concepts – tasks, queues, semaphores ✅ State machines & fault tolerance (watchdogs) ✅ Bootloader & firmware update flow ✅ Embedded security best practices ✅ Testing, validation & a small case study 💡 Each topic is explained in simple terms with examples, making it easier for freshers and engineers who want to strengthen their foundations. I’ll continue building more practical content around firmware, drivers, and RTOS. 🚀 Would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or topics you’d like me to add in the next part! #EmbeddedC #Microcontrollers #Firmware #RTOS #EmbeddedSystems #Learning #CProgramming #AUTOSAR #IoT #STM32 #BareMetal #LowLevelProgramming #DeviceDrivers #EmbeddedLinux #ARM #CortexM #SystemProgramming #SoftwareEngineering #RealTimeSystems #Bootloader #MemoryManagement #CodingForFreshers #CareerInEmbedded

What are possible projects for embedded system development ? Our Premium/Ultra kit students get enough time to complete various projects. Following is a list of possible options : 1: Five C projects for logic building. We provide solution of these as well. 2: There are three default projects for all developer kit students as a part of firmware workshop. 3: Additional projects for I2C, SPI, UART, ADC , Single wire protocol, DMA, USB, Secure boot etc. Students have to submit a brief report about each to get access to other. 4: Linux Application development based project . 5: Embedded C++ based project . 6: FreeRTOS based project 7: HMI based project The number of projects in each developer kit option will be based on performance by a particular community member within his/her training duration. We will provide enough hints for these additional self paced projects. Plan to add at least 5 projects in your portfolio by December end. #embedkari #embedded #opentowork
