    My Notes:
    1. Learn C
    Pointers & Addresses
    Multithreading
    Data Structures
    Sorting & filtering
    Embedded Protobuf
    GET GOOD AT THESE THINGS ABOVE
    2. Come up with Projects that apply C language in them
    (NOTHING)
    3. Program with a development board
    beginner: Arduino / Raspberry pie
    intermediate: TI / STI 32
    Key points to focus on:
    Super loops/while loops
    GPIOs
    DAC/ADC
    Interrupts
    Hardware Communication protocols: SPI/QSPI, I2C, UART/USART, Bluetooth, USB + Ethernet
    DMA (Direct Memory Access)
    Memory Management: Simple Flash read & write, DDR memory
    RTOS (Real Time Operating System) + Free RTOS
    Linux Systems
    4. Non Programming Skills
    Learn how to read electrical schematics
    Learn to read Data sheets
    Hope this helps.
    You're welcome

    Well that is basically how to become an Embedded Software Engineer. To become a GOOD Embedded Software Engineer demands an awful lot more. You need to have a moderate understanding of electronics to understand what is happening beyond your code and how hardware faults can manifest as software issues. You need to be able to read datasheets and their revisions and corrections. You need to build a library of understanding for basic principals such as SPI, I2C, circular and linear buffers. You also need to understand and appreciate what is happening in the engine-room of the microcontroller when executing your code. Don't just rely upon the compiler, actually KNOW what bits and bytes are being passed around and operated on and why. Then you need to develop excellent communication skills. You need to be able to establish what is required rather than merely what is being asked for. You will need to submit yourself to numerous coding reviews to establish best practice. At the same time you must be flexible enough to adopt the "in-house" coding style of your employer or client. Finally, you must become resilient to being constantly second-guessed, questioned and micromanaged by those above you who know almost nothing about what you are doing.

    I am trying to switch from an automation test engineer to an embedded software engineer. I used to work as a QC, I worked on measuring systems when I was in college and occasionally worked/configured controllers and firmware but after college I ended up doing web developing particularly test automation but I was never happy doing it. Two weeks ago I ended up helping my nephew with his mbots building it and everything came back after helping my nephew I remembered how excited I was when I am configuring the micro controllers, using oscilloscope/multi meter to balance the controllers when I was a QC. Now I am brushing up my c/c++ programming skills and waiting for a couple of arduino boards that I ordered so I can start building projects and hopefully to acquire a job as an embedded software engineer. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 Thanks!

    . Do you believe it is better to continue your education and specialize in a certain subject, or should you always go to work after earning a bachelor's degree to get experience?

    • @GreidiAjalik
      @GreidiAjalik  2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Hey! It totally depends on what you want to get out of your career! You would most likely end up in the same place either way in the industry. For example new masters grad would start off as SWE L4 (mid level engineer), fresh bachelors grad would start off as SWE L3 (entry level engineer). In 2-4 years the bachelors degree engineer would be able to get to SWE L4 and made money the entire time. The masters guy has spent more money on education and not earned any during that timeframe yet, but by that time they are at the same place.
      It is hard to enter back to school after you've experience the engineering salary and got comfortable with it. It's really up to you, if you want to learn more and really enjoy doing that... go ahead with masters, if you're eager to start making some money and want to try out what it feels like to work in the industry for few years before committing to school for the Masters. Who knows... maybe you'll hate it and want to do business degree instead.... or want to focus in biomedical engineering ... computer science or something else instead....

      You’re welcome! And thank you for the question, I think ML and AI are good skills to have, always. Hence why I’m doing my masters to learn about those. Im not sure how commonly it is actually used, but it could be used to learn more about sensors or devices to detect faults or prevent them. Although they would be challenging to implement due to hardware constraints.

Make a list of pros and cons for this job and then make a decision… take into account if you actually enjoy the work not just the money made.

    hello , glad i found your channel , embedded is a vast feild and i am a CS student with spec in IOT ,
    i have worked with arduino , RPI , atmega boards and am familiar with microprocessor architech
    currently i have started learnnig system verilog and was looking to buy a fpga board,
    but i must say a fresher it gets a little demotivating to see that there is not as much community support as we have in let say machine learning or general programming ..like it gets so confusing not to mention everything is costly(shipping charges are huge) if i want to learn anything , even the software simulations.
    i got a job offer at the far end of my country with a very low pay , idk why the pay is so low , can we get a high paying job in a specific profile?

      Hey! Thanks for the kind words and your support!! I'm assuming you were talking about pay for embedded software engineers? I think the pay should be the same (or around there) as for most other software engineering positions. Unfortunately, some companies just pay less because they don't have money for engineers or they just don't want to pay - some of it is also salary negotiations. Anyways, hopefully some of it helped or answered your question. Cheers!

    Hey, nice video. I noticed that you briefly mentioned embedded linux, what do you think of it in regards to job prospects? I've been reading in reddit that bare-metal is dying and is being replaced by embedded linux. What is your opinion on this? I'm starting my career in embedded and I really like bare-metal and RTOS programming, but I'm worried that it would be a bad long term choice.

    • @GreidiAjalik
      @GreidiAjalik  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hey! Thank you! I would say it is pretty desired skill to have in the job market and so is RTOS. I do agree that Embedded Linux or Free RTOS are becoming more and more popular than bare metal. You usually always want to start off with learning bare metal, then learn about RTOS and/or embedded Linux . RTOS wouldn’t be a bad long term choice. Even though there is a shift to use OS more on embedded systems (which is great), not every system will need to be running one. You could also run into a situation at work where they are porting code from one architecture (bare-metal) to another (RTOS/embedded Linux), thus knowing about both would be helpful. Hope this helps! Cheers!

    Hi Geidi, I've been learning javascript for around 7ish months. Because for 3 - 4 months I've been dabbling with other tech like C, Java, Swift, C# and even Kotlin which I love.
    Question, I think this maybe a dum question. But the reason why I stopped learning C was because of the memory management issues, I heard something about having to release the memory? If you don't release the memory after your done with programming can this damage your CPU? WHT do you need to release the memory? What does garbage collecting prevent? Also, will learning C improve my understanding of JavaScript or even make me a better programmer? Thank you.

    • @GreidiAjalik
      @GreidiAjalik  ปีที่แล้ว

      There is no embedded C extension in the C language! It is all C. There may be some processor or architecture specific pragmas but they exist for almost all architectures.
      Please note that things like printf() is *not* part of the C language but library functions of the standard C library, and a lot of that is not available on small embedded systems.
      Supposed „dirty“ Tricks accessing registers, or switching GPIOs are usually plain C constructs accessing bytes and bits in the address space.
      There are few areas where you fall back to assembler yourself.
      I have done all my bare metal hardware access in plain C.
      To program effective programs you need to know the full C language.
      If you are using C++ be always be aware which of the language constructs come with higher overhead, and which come with almost no cost in regards to space or runtime.

      If you’re already familiar with C, I’d recommend get an STM32 board and start learning to use it as bare metal then move to RTOS usage - learn a lot about RTOS. While you’re learning continuously apply for jobs you like and think it would be a good fit. Depending on a company you’d probably want to be ready to do some coding for technical interviews - some linked lists or sorting algorithms would be a good start. Or just a fizz buzz.
