Our Verdict
The Complete ARM Cortex-M Bare-Metal Programming (TM4C123) course is a well-rounded option for diving into Cortex-M internals, mastering pointers, structures, memory navigation, and debugging. It offers hands-on experience in programming UARTs, timers, and interrupts using Assembly code and CMSIS core usage with embedded-C.\n\n Despite minor issues like outdated Windows IDE instructions, a few sections appearing unorganized or missing elements, and occasional quality control concerns, the course offers practical value for learners seeking in-depth embedded systems knowledge.\n\n It is essential, however, to have patience with slower paced segments while some advanced topics might be better suited for those already familiar with embedded programming concepts.
What We Liked
- In-depth coverage of ARM Cortex-M internals, mastering pointers, structures, memory navigation, and debugging
- Comprehensive understanding of CMSIS core, enabling efficient firmware development using bare-metal embedded-C
- Practical UART, timer, and interrupt drivers' implementation in Assembly code
- Appreciated course structure, pacing, and the instructor's clear communication
Potential Drawbacks
- Reliance on Windows for IDE with outdated instructions, causing issues for some learners
