How to design an embedded system of your own.
The steps to take when you have an embedded system in mind.
Tips and tricks in several steps of the design and implementation process.
How to use a RISC-V microcontroller.
How a RISC-V microcontroller compares to its ARM Cortex-M courterpart.

Be comfortable with digital or analog electronic circuits.
Have some basic experience with schematic diagrams.
Be able to create embedded applications using either a microcontroller or an FPGA.

Learn about the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture by creating applications in an actual RISC-V microcontroller! See many applications developed on a RISC-V embedded microcontroller board. We've chosen an inexpensive board so you may follow along if you want.
This course is part of a hands-on curriculum where you'll get some basic experience on the design and development of embedded applications using a RISC-V core. This curriculum contains the following courses
Part 1: The RISCV ISA. Where you'll learn about the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture.
Part 2: Embedded Applications. Where you'll learn how to create basic applications using the on-chip peripherals.
Part 3: Real Operating Systems. Where you'll learn how to create RTOS applications with an industry standard RTOS.
Part 4: The Journey inside an RTOS. Where you'll learn how an RTOS works, now that you know how to use them.
