Getting started in embedded systems, embedded C the language of firmware, microcontroller architecture and GPIO, peripherals with ADC PWM and timers, a minor project building bare metal firmware with peripherals, communication protocols, interrupts memory and low power, and a major project building a complete embedded product.
Requirements
- No prior electronics or coding background required, open to ECE, EEE, CSE, and any engineering student willing to build
- A low cost STM32 or Arduino board is recommended, but every project can be completed fully in Wokwi and Proteus simulation
- A computer with a reliable internet connection
- Curiosity, consistency, and a willingness to build things
About this course
Embedded Systems with Ucanly, Level 1 Beginner, takes you from zero to your first real embedded product. Firmware engineers build the firmware inside cars, medical devices, appliances, industrial machines, and every IoT product on earth, and the skill is genuinely hard to fake or outsource. With India's electronics manufacturing push, this level is one of the most defensible engineering careers available. This is the level where you build the foundation that makes you employable with firmware you actually wrote. You will learn embedded C, microcontroller architecture, GPIO, ADC, PWM, timers, and communication protocols including UART, I2C, and SPI. In your minor project in week five, you will build a bare metal firmware project on real hardware or in simulation with multiple peripherals, interrupt driven input, a sensor read over a real protocol, and a serial debug interface. In your major project in week eight, you will build a complete embedded product with sensing, actuation, a menu driven interface, non volatile storage, and low power operation, built and defended live to Ucanly mentors. A low cost STM32 or Arduino board is recommended and Ucanly provides a kit list, but every project can be completed fully in Wokwi and Proteus, so no student is ever blocked by hardware.

Frequently asked questions
No. A low cost STM32 or Arduino board is recommended and Ucanly provides a kit list, but every project can be completed fully in Wokwi and Proteus simulation, so no student is ever blocked by hardware.
No prior electronics or coding background is required. This course is open to ECE, EEE, CSE, and any engineering student willing to build.
Yes. Your minor project is a bare metal firmware project configuring GPIO, ADC, or SPI directly from the datasheet, and your major project is a complete embedded product with layered firmware, both built on hardware or in simulation and defended live to Ucanly mentors.
Yes, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Ucanly once you finish the course.
