From engineer to embedded systems architect: portable architecture, Zephyr and Embedded Linux, security, edge AI, and a production platform.
8 modules · 48 lessons
Embedded systems architecture, advanced RTOS and Zephyr, Embedded Linux and high level systems, embedded security, a minor project building a secure safety hardened module, edge AI performance and production engineering, functional safety and production deployment, and a major project architecting a production embedded platform.
Embedded Systems with Ucanly, Level 3 Advanced, takes you from engineer to embedded systems architect. Built for practitioners who have completed the Intermediate level or have hands on experience shipping RTOS based firmware with drivers, communication stacks, and connectivity, this program goes deep into systems architecture, hardware and firmware partitioning, and portable, hardware abstracted design. You will master Zephyr RTOS internals and device tree, know when Embedded Linux is genuinely the right call, and build custom Linux images with Yocto and Buildroot. You will study embedded security in depth, including secure boot, cryptography, PKI, and TrustZone, and in your minor project in week six, build a complete secure and safety hardened firmware module with secure boot, an authenticated OTA path, MISRA compliance, and fault injection testing, defended as a security and safety case. You will then optimize edge AI models for microcontrollers, build firmware CI pipelines with hardware in the loop testing, and apply functional safety and production deployment practices. You will graduate having architected a full production grade embedded platform in your week twelve major project, with a portable driver and HAL layer, an RTOS or Embedded Linux stack, secure boot and OTA, an optimized edge AI feature, automated firmware CI, and a defended architecture and safety design presented live to Ucanly mentors.
Complete this course to earn a verified Ucanly certificate you can add to your profile, share on LinkedIn, and showcase to employers as proof of the skills you've built.
It is recommended, but hands on experience shipping RTOS based firmware with drivers, communication stacks, and connectivity is sufficient to start.
Yes. Your minor project is a complete secure and safety hardened firmware module with secure boot, an authenticated OTA path, MISRA compliance, and fault injection testing, defended as a security and safety case to Ucanly mentors.
Yes, you will learn when each is genuinely the right choice, master Zephyr RTOS internals and device tree, and build custom Embedded Linux images with Yocto and Buildroot.
A full production grade embedded platform architected end to end, with a portable driver and HAL layer, an RTOS or Embedded Linux stack, secure boot and OTA, an optimized edge AI feature, automated firmware CI, and a defended architecture and safety design presented live to Ucanly mentors.
