Embedded C++ Engineering: Object-Oriented Design for STM32

Microcontrollers are traditionally programmed in C, but modern embedded systems demand the structure, safety, and scalability of C++. Transitioning to object-oriented programming on resource-constrained hardware requires a solid understanding of both software design and hardware abstraction. This text-based course guides you through the process of developing clean, maintainable, and efficient embedded software using C++ on STM32 and ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers. You will learn how to map object-oriented concepts directly to hardware registers, manage memory safely, and build robust drivers without sacrificing execution speed or code size. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational embedded C++ concepts, memory mapping, and register-level access. - Apply object-oriented design patterns to structure clean hardware abstraction layers (HAL). - Write efficient drivers for STM32 peripherals, including GPIO, timers, and serial communication. - Utilize modern C++ features like constexpr, namespaces, and templates to optimize resource usage. - Implement safe memory management strategies tailored for real-time, resource-constrained systems. - Practice writing testable embedded code through modular design and structured written exercises. The course begins with essential terminology and the fundamentals of microcontrollers, then transitions into hands-on code walkthroughs where you will study object-oriented driver development and hardware integration step-by-step. Designed for beginner embedded developers, software engineers transitioning from desktop C++, or students looking to build a strong foundation in modern embedded systems programming, this course requires no prior hardware experience.
