DSP From Ground Up™ on ARM Processors [UPDATED] (Udemy.com)

Bare Metal Programmierung mit klaren Erläuterungen aller Schritte. Für fortgeschrittene Controllerprogrammierer gibt es an vielen Stellen eine Auffrischung wie es gemacht wird , Anfänger werden sicher auf den benötigten Wissensstand gebracht. Ein gewisses Maß an Programmiererfahrung (in C , embedded ) ist dennoch von Vorteil Die Audioqualität ist sehr gut und der Dozent spricht sehr klar und verständlich in Englisch. Genau das was ich gesucht habe. Sehr empfehlenswert.

I'm following this course using a Linux host and the STM32CubeIDE. In place of Matlab I'm using GNU Octave. No real problems so far although I found the SWV to be unreliable. In it's place I save the input and output buffers from the filter to the host and plot them with a bit of Python in a Jupyter notebook.

POSITIVE THINGS: - A well-structured course going into DSP on the ARM Cortex-M4 in the first section, review the theory, and coding, - It shows how to configure the Keil UVision MDK which is very useful. - Good explanations of the mathematics behind the various DSP concepts, - For DSP beginners on ARM, it is a good choice to kick-off! NEGATIVE THINGS: - The lecturer seems offline at least for 1 or 2 years, so you can not ask him any questions, - Section 2 is uncompleted, and a few videos are uncompleted (62), - DSP basics should be known before the course, - All examples are simulations, the signals are completely generated by MATLAB, there is no real signal example using ADC, etc. - "Filter" section is not satisfactory, there are a few theories and examples, and comparisons. But there is no example of how to calculate a good filter for a specific scenario (for example choose a cut-off frequency, and design filter), Overall, it is a nice course for beginners or people who wants to see how to implement DSP functions on ARM... The course encourages you to dive in. It has mand negative points, but unfortunately, there is no alternative course for this content.

A well structured course going into DSP on the ARM Cortex-M4. Also shown, how to configure the Keil UVision MDK which is very useful. Good explanations of the Mathematics behind the various DSP concepts which makes for a full picture of the subject area, likewise the analogue side of the subject.

This course has been a good refresher for some of the signal processing concepts I studied in university years ago, plus the application of those concepts using an ARM MCU, until now I've always used Matlab. What I missed the most was more coding sections to illustrate some of the things (FFT and IIR filters, generate our own filter coefficients...) those things are only theory in the course and it would be great to know where to get started in the APIs

Some of the things the instructor demonstrates doesn't actually work. This could be due simply to the version of ST CubeMX and Keil ver 5 you are using. Also, the signals are all simulations. It would be good to include in this course real-time DSP processing of a real signal, say microphone reading, in real time, and spitting out a filtered versions of the signal out of a speaker, in real time. Still the instructor is very thorough with all the useful features you can make use of in these tools.

This course is very exciting, signal processing is a very important topic when it comes to sampling sensor data from the ADC yet there is hardly any tutorial on how to do that on microcontrollers. This course has so far exceeded my expectation, I'm not done yet so we shall see how it goes.

Positives: The course is interesting and what I expected. The course starts out slow with examples less the theory, to aquaint the student with a preview of what is ahead. Included are basic DSP lessons, programming examples, the CMSIS DSP library, how to use the Keil Logic Analyizer, and generation of signals. This is done to keep the student enguaged with a view into the topics that will be covered in more detail in later sections, yet demonstrate what you can do with DSP. The instructors' explaitions are great and compare with other such quality courses. While working my way through the course, I found that the organization and flow of the course followed Steven W Smiths’, "The Scientists and Engineering's Guide to Digital Signal Processing" that I happen to have (a freely available text that you can download at dspguide.com). Where as the material in the course covers basic DSP theory, the book augments the DSP in a very readable fashion and in more detail. Hence, I found that reading Stevens' book along with viewing the course lectures and applying the what I am learning is an excellent combination. The value of the course is the combination of the STM32F Discovery kit, the Keil IDE, Matlab, STM32CubeMX and short lectures of the DSP concepts to be applied to get you started FAST on a Cortex M4 ARM from ground up. Negatives: The audio of the various lessons varies from lecture to lecture, and sometimes within a lecture. In some cases you need to turn up your speaker volume to max to undstand the lecture. I believe the instructor is using the microphone on his laptop which also explains why you can hear the keys stoke so promenently why he is typing examples. Some lessons are clearly re-dubbed but the audio is not constent. The presentation would be better if these issues were taken care of. This is not a reason not to purchase this course, just feedback to, hopefully, help the instructor make the course better.

The information covered in this course is exactly what I needed to learn for a new assignment. Both general information about DSP as well as how to implement things on the ARM Cortex M4.

This course has been very helpful to me. It is helping me a lot with the signal processing and control systems classes I am taking at my university. The instructor is also very responsive to my messages . I am looking forward to taking more of his courses.
