## What it is
Companion repository for the free 'Modern Embedded Systems Programming' video course by Miro Samek, teaching embedded C programming on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers from machine-level fundamentals to RTOS and event-driven design. It contains code examples and lesson materials accompanying the YouTube playlist.

## Use cases
- learn embedded C programming from scratch
- understand ARM Cortex-M architecture and assembly
- learn how interrupts and the vector table work
- study RTOS concepts and event-driven programming
- learn bitwise operations and pointers at the machine level
- prepare for embedded systems job interviews

## When to choose
- you want a free, in-depth, video-based embedded systems course
- you want to understand what happens at the machine level inside a microcontroller
- you target ARM Cortex-M, the dominant embedded MCU architecture
- you want to learn state machines, active objects, and OOP in C for embedded

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or framework rather than course material
- you target non-ARM microcontrollers like AVR or RISC-V exclusively
- you prefer text-only tutorials without video lectures

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: embedded, developer-tools, programming-language
- domain: embedded-systems, tutorials, education
- platform: embedded, cross-platform
- tags: embedded-c, arm-cortex-m, video-course, rtos, microcontroller, low-level-programming, free-course
