Embedded Bootloader Development from Ground Up™ (Udemy.com)

Very good content to learn about bootloader and application development, and also some peripherals drivers implementation.

so many information is missing, not going deep ennough. i thought atleast the final project is going to have ennough but its just if else and jump. if you want i show you all the things i had to learn from outside of the course just to understand everything.

Overall good course. It helped me to understand the elementary principles of bootloaders, linker scripts and STM32 memory map. On the other hand, quite a lot of time of the course was spent on writing drivers for GPIO, UART etc. From my opinion, it would more beneficial to use already written drivers and devote the time to more advanced things related to bootloaders because we are following a bootloader course, not anything like an STM32 basics course. It is the reason why I am giving 4/5 stars.

Good overview of the building/linking/booting process. I would love to see a course specifically about customizing U-Boot to custom hardware.

This is a great course. I love it. I finally understood how to customize my own apps in the bootloaders.

Because the instructor always covers the essential information for getting started.

As an introduction to the Bootloader world is a good course to start.

This is a great course. can not wait for section 2 and 3.

I have been taking embedded courses on the ARM architecture and IoT for many years. This instructor is one of the best. He is quite comfortable with the subject due to his experience and knowledge. Finding low level ARM courses for deep learning is limited. Thank you for this course.

The course manages to convey its core idea of having multiple firmwares in different Flash sectors, and selecting which of these to branch to based on some decision made by the bootloader. What I disliked about this course is that instead of writing the linker scripts from scratch, the course relies on modifying the ones autogenerated by STM32CubeIDE. The autogenerated scripts contain a lot of stuff that is never explained and one is left puzzled over their meaning. Perhaps the next course in the series will address this shortcoming. It seems like there is one lecture video missing. In lesson 34 a project called 9_bootloader2 is created. Then, in lesson 35, the project 9_bootloader1-app2 appears out of nowhere and gets completely ignored. The code for this project can still be found in the code download, but since the topic in lesson 34 was interesting, I would have liked a walkthrough of the code.
