This video is part of my Embedded Systems Explained series.
Today I'm going to show you how easy and cheap it can be to start learning embedded systems at home. All you need is a development board, some wires and a computer.
First of all, what is an embedded system? It's everything you'd expect a computer to have, a processing unit, memory, I/O, just integrated in a mechanical or electrical system. Because they usually doesn't need as much processing power as a computer, embedded systems have much more limited resources, thus encouraging a developers to use resources wisely.
Before starting, it's important to choose a family of microcontrollers to start learning. Even though a lot of them have development boards available (MSP430, Microchip PIC microcontroller, Atmel ATMega) I know it can be hard at first to make such a choice, so I'm going to recommend you the platform I learned at first and the one I still use daily. Because of the large selection of microcontrollers that it offers, the good documentation, code examples for each peripheral and large community, I recommend you pick a Texas Instruments MSP430 board.
The 5 Concepts explained in this video are:
1)GPIO
These are just like I/O ports on your computer, but much simpler. They can either output one of two values or read the value at the port (as a logical value). We output a value to these ports or read values from these ports through registers. These are memory locations allocated to a specific peripheral and are meant to configure and interact with the peripheral.
2)Interrupts
Interrupts come in handy when trying to run a piece of code after something happens. In contrast to polling, where we wait inside a loop for an event to happen (such as a flag being set), we activate a hardware interrupt and write an interrupt handler -- here we put the code that we want to run when the event happens.
3)Timers
Basic timers count up, up & down, continuously and can be used for timeouts, counting how long a process takes, creating a real time clock and many more. Count up means counting up until reaching a programmed limit, then starting again from 0. Count up & down counts up until the programmed limit, but then counts down until reaching 0. Continuous means the timer counts until it overflows and then starts again from 0.
Usually, timers have capture and compare modules. The capture mode allows us to time other processes - The compare mode allows us to output signals with a modifiable duty cycle.
4)ADC - Analog to digital converter
ADCs or analog to digital converters allow us to convert a voltage into a number we can work with in software.
We'd use this to measure the voltage of a battery, such as the system's own battery or to read certain sensors.
The opposite of an ADC is a DAC or digital to analog converter, which outputs a certain voltage depending on the code we supply to the DAC.
5)Serial interfaces
Serial interfaces allow us to communicate with other integrated circuits or even to a PC. The most basic serial interface usually available is UART, which stands for Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter and requires just 2 data wires - TX and RX. It signals the start of a communication through a start bit, followed by 8 bits of data, optionally a parity bit for basic error checking and a stop bit.
In contrast, SPI and I2C allow multiple devices to be connected to the same bus and allow for faster speeds.
Why should you NOT choose Arduino at first when learning Embedded Systems? Because it has many layers of Software over the Hardware and you won't interact with the hardware at the low level.

This video inspired me to create more content about Embedded Systems, so here is a playlist of my Embedded Systems Explained series: ruclips.net/p/PLeAb9_hv082weQ10WcvFfLBlNcCYXlQ4q
I've already uploaded 3 videos about Embedded Systems, stay tuned for more! 💡
RUclips is great if you want to learn how to repair your car, HVAC, appliances, etc. I have literally saved thousands of dollars by doing most of the work myself. I have also taken some free Python courses and studied some concepts in C++. BTW, I am firmware developer with 30 years experience but I am having trouble finding a job because employers expect you to be an expert in several languages and companies like Amazon expect you to be an expert in algorithms too. BTW, I use to work as a Refrigeration/HVAC tech but the thought of crawling through 130 degree attics again makes me ill.
RUclips does indeed have tons of videos that are helpful when trying to pick up all sorts of skills!
It's tough out there, I agree! Keep looking and perhaps try and see if you can't do something on your own.

How do I build a embedded computer specifically for a single purpose. Unlike the Raspberry Pi or Aurdino, which can be used for running various types of Apps and OS, I need to build a computer that will run a specific app only and it will boot to load that app only. For example, a windows pc can be used to run Sony playstation games using an emulator app but a Sony playstation game console can only run the ps games. In the same way I want to built a tablet like PC that will able to do only browsing and after it's switched on, only the browser will load on the screen. So, is there any such microprocessor board that can be programmed to do such specific task?
I started embedded systems with a nios2 soft-processor on a FPGA, which is like learning to ride a bike downhill but I really enjoyed it, and it helps you so much to understand hardware, especially while coding hdl.
Most efficient 10 minutes used on YT. Thank you so much for this effective tutorial.
Wow, thanks a lot!! I’m really happy this helps people out!
I’m not sure if you know about it, but I made a series out of it, teaching embedded systems: ruclips.net/p/PLeAb9_hv082weQ10WcvFfLBlNcCYXlQ4q
One thing I like about presentation is you talk straight to the point. Please bring in videos on building ARM based system design.
Great breakdown of embedded microcontrollers. I like your reasoning for choosing the TI series of microcontrollers. I too love working at the machine and hardware level, especially in assembler, to really get full control and understanding of what's going on under the hood. Looking forward to more great videos on this and other related topics. Liked! Subbed! Smashed the notification bell!
Thanks so much! While I don’t work in assembler that often, I always look at the assembler code generated from my C code, it’s always interesting to see how the compiler chooses to implement it!
Stay tuned, a new video is coming out today!
Agreed, for a beginner the TI ecosystem is so streamlined. Also, they have a strong academic connect.
Yes, it’s mostly easy to find what you’re searching for!
Great video, many thanks. Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot! Check out the other videos in this series if you found this one useful!
Not recommending arduino for starters, I think I found what I'm looking for. Crisp info no blabla. Thx.
This is really helpful. Thank you!
Agreed! quick and precise guide for embedded system.
Thank you! You can check out the other videos in my Embedded Systems Explained series too!
Loved the video! Great Info on the embedded systems for beginners!
Thank you! You could also check out the other videos in the playlist as they’re all aimed at people looking to get started with embedded systems!
Very comprehensive introduction, waiting for more content💯
Next video in this series on embedded systems is coming out Sunday, so stay tuned! 😉
A great guide. I am personally using texas instruments tm4c to learn all the mentioned concepts. I hope, you make videos like this on all described modules. You have a great concept delivery. Cheers.
Thank you! I will continue to make videos on all modules and peripherals! There is already a new one you uploaded about SPI and I2C!
Clear explaintation, Many thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
You can use Arduino, but only if youre programming at the assembly level + the AVRDUDE programmer through the command line. It feels exactly like if you were programming a 6502 / 65C816
That’s true! To be fair, I was mostly referring to the Arduino IDE (and Energia for MSP430).
Very high quality video. I loved it, keep up the great work!
Thanks! You might’ve already seen in the description, but there are more videos in this series if you are interested in learning about Embedded Systems!
@@TheFabytm yes I watched most of them😊 Keep making more. Here are 2 more I would like to see:
- how to read data sheets
- operating systems like: RTOS, linux..
Many thanks for sharing!
Glad you found it helpful!
Great for the explanation. This was very helpful.
Awesome, I’m happy it helped you!
Wow, you made it very clear!
Thanks! Stay tuned for more videos on similar topics, I have one planned already!
Nice information.. thanks
Great Explanation!!!
I’m glad you found it useful! 😁
Hello Fabitm,
your tutorials are great.
I'm missing the product / Amazon link to the NI you recommend in your video.
Could you please share the product information again in the comment?
Thanks a lot to you
Thanks for making these vids man. Do you think you can make a series on a simple canbus system in practice? There's many vids out there on what CANBUS is, but there's little info on how to set it all up in an example manner. The CANBUS concept isn't hard to grasp, but implementing it seems to be alot more complicated, especially for those who knows nothing about coding and embedded systems.
I'll recommend RISC-V for a beginner to get started with learning assembly.
I'd like to hear about comprehensive programs short of a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering where you can learn embedded. I am particularly interested in the intersection of data analytics, edge computing and machine learning on micro-controllers.
Good, concise and clear explanation
Thank you, make sure to check out the other videos in the, they share the same style!
Playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLeAb9_hv082weQ10WcvFfLBlNcCYXlQ4q
Nice! It would've been nice if I could watch this when I was a beginner. Good work!
Thanks! I’d like to do similar videos on other subjects as well! If you have any ideas in mind for stuff you’d like explained, I’d love to hear them!
@@TheFabytm Debugging would be a good one!
Really awesome video and quite unique topic summarisation content. It will really help for beginners as well as intermediate learners of embedded systems, specially self learners. Electronics is wide subject. To understand its concept thoroughly, you must have that view towards world and running systems. You must think in that way. And yes, it's possible for 1 of 10 ratio. Your content clarifies many directions that must be learnt and must be thoroughly understood before studying or teaching beginners. With this knowledge it gets very handy to switch between different MCUs and MCU families, even switching to PC motherboards, complex boards,etc. Thank you for such a collective content video. Keep it up broda.
Thank you! I’m thrilled you found my content interesting and hope to be able to produce more of it in the future!
Electronics is indeed a wide subject but if approached the right way (each day learning and understanding something new), it can be fun and fulfilling!
I'm eagerly waiting I know Therotically but practically I know some of these concepts. I hope soon you start these topics
Stay tuned, I usually post once a week (Saturday/Sunday) and I will post more videos on similar topics!
I’ve started a course on udemy with the texas launchpad with the TM4C123 uC. The board is very good and I’m learning a lot with this bare metal C programming course! Thanks for using it as an example also.
Great approach, it will pay off! Knowing how to work with the hardware at this level opens up a lot of possibilities!
TheFabytm yes! I wish to become an embedded systems engineer, but the way seems to be very long and hard. At least I’m already a computer engineer, but I’m working as a frontend developer. One step that I hope that helps me is the master degree in electrical engineering that I’m taking right now, but some online courses and tips are also very welcome.
Good luck, you’ll make it, the first steps are a bit harder.

Very nice introduction video. Keep going!!!
Thank you! Stay tuned for more videos on similar topics!
I'll, be sure of that, friend.
look forward to next video
Thanks! Next video is coming out tomorrow, stay tuned! :)
Thanks
what is your opinion on the texas instrument vs the stm32 dev board?
Q: "what is an embedded system?"
A: "it's a system hammered into a wall"
About as accurate as it can get😂
I hope you will explain i2c, spi, and CAN bus soon
That’s actually a great idea since I only mentioned i2c and spi. CAN Bus is also one I wanted to mention but felt I shouldn’t as I wouldn’t have been able to explain it without making the video too long.
Thanks for the idea!
fast but good explanation dude if possible please make a video on ti msp430 like controlling gpio and timmers manupulation
Thanks! I will but I want to go through the basic topics first! The next video is coming out Sunday, so stay tuned!
So useful knowledgements for who wants an embedded system engineer like me. Thanks a lot
I’m glad you found this to be helpful! Stay tuned for more!
Thank you
You are welcome!
most underated channel
Thanks man! Spread the word around with your friends, I’d really appreciate it!
I cannot seem to find that MSP430 Launchpad anywhere to buy.
What are some entry jobs that lead to embedded jobs while you learn to program?
Wish I had seen this video when I first started learning
This won’t be the only video on embedded systems, so stay tuned for more! Perhaps there’ll be something that will help you!
Ordered a pair of arduinos a few days ago to start learning embedded software, now I sort of wish I'd stumbled across this video sooner lol
Don’t worry, you can use Arduino to get you started and even later on for quick prototyping!
Amazing
Thanks!
It's been great learning with my tm4c, I'm learning UART now
Don’t skip SPI and I2C! Both are very useful and more versatile than UART!
My first project was arduino. It was a littel bit cofused becuse i didnt know anything but now is mutch easyer after 4 years. Build myself many iot stuf and smart switches and sensors. Feels like a perfect toy.
It is for the things you said, but mostly what you do is use libraries which do all the heavy lifting (interfacing with the hardware).
Is it hard or easy ??? Now I’m thinking 2 learn this skill ==embedded s/f enjineer
This video basically covered my entire embedded systems class lol.
Once one owns peripherals and driver development. You should start implementing a more complex system using an RTOS
You’re right! The plan is to go through the peripherals and other important concepts and then start a project-course where people can follow along.
Are you familiar with John Valvano's course on EdX? I enrolled in to some time back but the going was a bit tough. I'm going to watch all your videos and try out that course again.
I haven’t heard of that course. Can you describe what you found makes it tough for you? I’m genuinely curious as I’m thinking about making more series like this one.
Regarding Arduino, isn't it quite useful to have the libraries for the sake of learning low-level interaction? You can check the source code and use it as assistance, you just ought to consciously make an effort to not use the library itself.
It can be, but similar libraries are available for the MSP430 as code examples.
5:38 I don't get how the timer capture/compare logic works. Maybe you make a video and explain it more in detail?
good
@TheFabytm Can you share some resources to the topics discussed here for beginners? Can you also share resources to embedded systems?
You can start with my Embedded Systems Explained series! ruclips.net/p/PLeAb9_hv082weQ10WcvFfLBlNcCYXlQ4q&si=0jB5AGjFWn6GNzRu
I would love you to explain timers
I did explain them briefly in this video. Would you like a more detailed explanation?
I will bless you if you make video how to connect cheap 4g cellular module to 32 bit controller
Stay tuned, I’m thinking about making a project series on something very similar!
What model is that awesome monitor your are using?
It’s the Dell U4919DW, you can check out my channel to see some videos about it!
can you teach IOT with app development. I am having a problem with esp8266. I need to make a app in angular or flutter but the problem is saving the ssid from the phone. How to make a platform like that
I might do a series in the future on this topic, for now I want to finish this Embedded Systems Explained series.
I want to help you though, why is it a problem that you have the ssid from your phone?
@@TheFabytm i had made the iot hardware.
But i am using third party softwares. I wanted to make my own app. In which i have to upload my wifi password and name through my app...
Upload these credentials to the ESP? I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to do.
Is this Texas instruments thing the same as an Arduino? Sorry if this is a dumb question I am trying to learn about embedded systems.
Sorry. Just finished watching the video. Question answered. Thank you very much this has been helpful :)
Glad you found it helpful! The MSP430 and ATMega (the microcontroller found on arduino boards) are similar in their architectures. The thing with arduino is that you can program it with arduino IDE and take advantage of the plethora of libraries available.
You can use Energia for MSP430 which can use the same libraries, though usually you will have to adjust bits and pieces because the libraries were initially written for Arduino.
What are the options for beginners? Arduino has done great things for the micro controller industry. What options lead to jobs as an embedded programmer?
Well, I’d say the route I proposed (picking up a development board, learning the basic concepts and doing some hobby projects) can absolutely lead to job opportunities. It’s the way I got my job (by showing them my projects which involved mostly using the concepts shown in the video - serial communication with a sensor, interrupts on timer events for sampling said sensor and a few more complex projects with a GPS module and GSM module - kind of like a tracking device).
Don't lie... Arduino projects are just hobby things. If u really want to learn embedded systems, try programming an Arduino board in atmel studio and learn to set the right bits. Embedded systems is mostly being good at reading data sheets like an attorney reads law. Alot of complex cross-references etc.
@@dsmeckt2283 Now now, let's not downplay the importance of Arduino. It is supposed to be 100% open source, which is not applicable to all industries. The translation layer also takes up space which requires more resources that cost money in high volume products. It has its place, but not in defence, automotive or consumer products .
Heyy, I am from India and I wanna start a project for my final year in embedded system. Where should I start from and what basics I need to learn about components used for the same?
It might be interesting to try and make a cell phone. There are modules, such as the GSM800L which make this relatively easy. You’d also need a display (I’d recommend the 0.96 inch OLED displays). As far as the microcontroller goes, a higher specced MSP430 should do the job, Arduino is also fine if you are a beginner!
Hey how can I contact you?
Well stm32 family is recommended as well
STM32 is also a good choice!
WHAT IS ACTUALY THE BEST THING TO START LEARNING WITH IN ELECTRONICS? BREADBOARDS?
Yes, experimenting with transistors, diodes, passive components on a breadboard might be the best way but you need to also study the theory behind it if you want to really understand stuff
I'm trying to understand CMake these days (I work mostly with GNU Make)
Haven't had a chance to use CMake until now but I started reading up about it.
Can I use Arduino or ESP to learn Embedded System the professional way? Kindly recommend a microcontroller to start with
You’d learn embedded systems at a hobby level using Arduino. You wouldn’t really deal with real embedded systems things such as registers. I’d recommend starting with a microcontroller that offers a development board (MSP430, PIC, ATMega but not Arduino).
@@TheFabytm Thank you very much. I will focus on those microcontrollers. MSP430, PIC, ATMega
@@TheFabytm Thanks a lot. I will start with PIC. Can you link me up with any PIC beginner projects I can start with. Thanks.
@@dtadetayo Hi. I’m looking to pick up a career in electronics. Starting out first as a hobbyist. I would like a learning partner if you don’t mind.
@@emekaosigwe I don't mind. I'm IN.
I thought I/O uses Special function registers contrary to General purpose registers..
Did I mention general purpose registers? They are module registers. As far as I know, on the MSP430 special function registers are used for interrupt enable and interrupt flag registers.
Why not use an arduino?
Do i need to learn this to do drone dev?
Yes, embedded would be a big part of it!
it is a good explanation. But you can improve the animation, and bring more animation in your explanation. But overall good job
Thanks for the tips! Could you give me an example of the type of animations you’d like to see?
@@TheFabytm i know this will be looks like demanding, but TED is always good example to go. Good luck
Hello..
Make video tutorial on stm32 nucleo boards
Please
I can’t promise this as I haven’t used STM32 boards.
Yes I too want stm32 related videos and development part.
Is this field related to Mechatronics Engineering??
Some parts are related, yes!
If you started with Arduino already, is it still beneficial to try out the TI series and learn things again from a lower level. I’m a BS student in Computer Engineering so I’ve worked a lot with Arduino but haven’t had much embedded experience other than that. My University is more software focused.
Yes, of course! Give it a go!
If you are absolute beginner, Arduino would be great to start with.
Great in one way, but it could also limit how much you’re learning.
Could you talk about CAN?
Yes! I have this planned for a future video!
@@TheFabytm Excellent! thank you so much, nice job :D
Thanks! :)
what do think about this syllabus?
Syllabus
The best way to understand what you will learn in this class is to list the labs you will complete and the example projects we will build. You will complete each lab first in simulation and then on the real board. For each module we will design a system and you will build and test a similar system.

Yup, I see Arduino as a powerful platform because of all the available libraries for different chips/sensors, but wouldn’t use it to learn embedded systems, it keeps you too far away from what’s actually happening under the hood.

You could start by watching my series on this topic! It’s quite extensive already as it covers most of the important topics about embedded systems!
weird how all these terms and methods are so similar in electronic music.
One thing I learned from embedded system and specially embedded software is that you can not learn it at home and you should be out there in the field.
and here I thought Arduino was low enough
You can go much lower, that’s for sure!
If you want to learn more about embedded systems and microcontrollers in general, I’d recommend watching my series on it, here is a link to the playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLeAb9_hv082weQ10WcvFfLBlNcCYXlQ4q
Isn't arduino better to learn
I’d say it makes things too easy, it isolates you from what matters about embedded systems (low level optimizations, registers, etc.)
Where is the code ? !!!!!
This series focuses on the theoretical side, after finishing the series, I plan on making a practical class where you guys can follow along as we build something (which involves code, of course).

Wtf you saying??! I got lost minute 1 !!
I have using a lot of these platforms over the years, and I was having a problem whit the Arduino just not having enough to work thit a project I wasmaking a CNC Pick-UP Winder "For Guitars" the biggest problem was using an Encoder to keep track of the motor shaft RPM, turns, angles ect to synchronize whit the Stepper motor guiding the copper wire onto the bobbin.. TI "Texas Instruments" i though would be a good fit since it has encoder hardware on some of there boards and, Motor related stuff.. So I bought one of there boards... The learning curve is HUGH ... even whit having a Programing degree and able to code C, C++ ... and asking for help Support was like Pulling Teeth, I could even log in or register on the Forum to ask for help because you CAN NOT join unless you have an University Email or some kind of Educational Email or an Approved business Email ..
I could not even get the Support personnel to Direct me to a Document of repo to learn the Syntax example, parameters ect ..
I would not recommend TI, your much better off the Use STM32 better stuff better support better documentation..
