In the first glance I felt bared but after following it up second time this series is really underrated. One of the best tutorial learning the core of modern embedded systems programing.
Sir, don't know how to put this in words, but sir your teaching has really increased by interest and my in knowledge regarding the microcontroller. Your way of teaching is exceptional, you explain things so well. I have said this thing to many teachers before what makes you different is delivering large content in small time. Moreover, you know student phscology, you have good tunning with freshers mind. I must say if you keep on working like this, then we will see many students in the Embedded Systems. These days what is happening is that students starts loosing interest in Embedded Systems because they are introduced microcontroller in very wrong way. Data sheet is nightmare to students because they are only taught that Data Sheet consists of 2000 pages and with that only students gets scared. But nobody teaches how to see Data Sheet, why 2k pages in Data Sheet are not be worried about. But some how you have taught all these things. Not only this your courses has many other things also. So, thank you so much. and thanks for contributing to the free education the by providing videos in UA-cam.
Sir I am so much Impressed by your courses that I have written many answers in Quora motivating freshers to take your courses. www.quora.com/profile/Nakul-Chauhan-16
Awesome !! That's the only word that can describe you and your team's effort to transform such interesting but relatively compl ex topic to a simple video that a layman can understand . I was really happy to learn the use of makefile in lecture 2 . Thanks a lot !! God bless you 🙏
Thank you for your excellent lectures, they bring me back to my 68HC11 days back in College :) I recently purchased your "Mastering Microcontroller with Embedded Driver Development" and I am loving it, I plan but get all your lectures down the road. For anyone interested in "Computers" learning micros invaluable. Thanks again for the excellent resources.
As per reference manual, Reset Handler is on top of the vector table list. Then Why MSP is initialized first inside the vector[ ] ? Why MSP is initialized in the vector[ ] in the first place? And how the compiler interpret this as address of MSP?
Its very difficult to give comments for all of ur videos. Honestly, ur almost all videos are very depth informative. Thanku very much for ur afforts. and one more thing I have taken ur almost all courses from udemy. Its very useful for as Embedded Developer.
Hi Kiran, when the __attribute__ is imposed at the end of the vectors[] array initialization, the .isr_vector section is having a size of 12 bytes as shown @14:07. When the __attribute__ is moved just after the variable vectors[], the size is 8 bytes as shown @15:00. What could be the reason?
I have one question that I could not find an answer for it anywhere, basically, If I create a boot-image for baremetal which includes the bootloader and the application elf file. The ooting image will be flashed in the booting flash. After switching on, the first stage boot loader copies the content of the flash memory into the on-chip RAM. How could it know the linkded sections and locate them correctly into the right places in the on-chip RAM? I examined the First stage boot loader, it is a simple memcpy operation!!
@FastbitEmbeddedBrainAcademy - I really like the course material and your teaching style. I do have a quick question, why is it not possible to get MSP value from linker script file?
Why must .data and .bss intialization be completed before main? In a freehosting environment that bare metal programming suggests, main doesnt even need to exist. The reset isr is the c_entry, and that could call whatever you want, then setup the memory there.
Did anyone try defining weak fucntion in main file and trigger ISR and Did it work ? I defined EXTI15_10_Handler in my main file but Vector address for EXTI15_10_Handler ISR still shows the address of Default_Handler.
Hello Sir, I need your help, I was trying to duplicate this project for AVR ATMEGA32A, The only issue I'm seeing is whenever i store the addresses of the handlers in the array, whenever the program starts, it tries to execute the op code stored in location 000, which is not an op-code, rather it's an address of a function, so the proteus simulation generates an error "invalid op code" i tried to validate my understanding by directly storing the function in the memory location, and it worked, however i can't control where the handlers will be stored exactly, as the linker will just list them in order without caring that i need to reserve 2 bytes for each handler. I would really appreciate it if you can look at this comment, I am a big student of you, and i even bought 4 courses on udemi, because you help me greatly.
hi instructor, thank you so much for uploading this type of videos, i have one query regarding the section creation, you created section by using attribute it is also possible to create by using pragma section. if it is possible please provide the sample example.
Could someone please clarify whether there is a mistake in the lecture or not. Throughout the entire lecture, vector array entries used the following syntax: (uint32_t)&WWDG_IRQHandler; But then in the end, with the final code, he omitted all of the "address of" (&) operators and just wrote it like this: (uint32_t)WWDG_IRQHandler; Was this a mistake? This seems like a mistake but I thought I would see what others thought.
Fastbit Embedded Brain Academy ah! Of course. Thank you. This is clear now. Thank you very much for your response. Can you also clarify why you put a zero into the vector table entry for Flash Global Interrupt?
I love your courses, really! I have 2 questions: 1) why is STACK_START the first element of vectors[]? where is this specified? 2) why STACK_START = SRAM_END? is this specified in the memory organization? I dont see it
Hi, 1) The first address of the flash has to store the address where stack pointer should initially point, this is according to the architecture specification. After this the reset handler and other hander addresses have to be stored as can be seen in vector table. 2)The stack grows from higher memory to lower memory so it is kept at the end of SRAM, it can be kept at other locations also, there is no restriction for it. Hope that answers your questions. Thanks
Hello, When i try to do make of stm32_stratup.c, i am getting below error, i have just included the Reset handler and SATCK_START and added __attribute section.

In the line "(uint32_t)&Reset_Handler," the "," should not be there because it is the last entry of the array. So remove the "," and it should work. So line 16 should be (uint32_t)&Reset_Handler Thanks
I know this sounds childlike but I love you man. Thanks for clearing this concept that I have been looking for since ages

Legends know that you are a star on Udemy !!! Great work.
Thanks, I was searching about this for 2 weeks. Finally, UA-cam algorithm listened.
My dude... This was real and robust lecture about startup coding I have ever seen. Thanks...
Awesome !!
That's the only word that can describe you and your team's effort to transform such interesting but relatively compl
ex topic to a simple video that a layman can understand .
I was really happy to learn the use of makefile in lecture 2 .
Thanks a lot !! God bless you 🙏
your videos proved to be great source of learning material to me

For Windows users: if your makefile fails with line "rm -rf ...", then instead of it use "del": del *.o *.elf
thank you
You guys are putting excellent stuff, pls keep coming it.
thanks so much, as a computer engineering student these lectures help fill the gaps in my knowledge.
As per reference manual, Reset Handler is on top of the vector table list.
Then Why MSP is initialized first inside the vector[ ] ? Why MSP is initialized in the vector[ ] in the first place?
And how the compiler interpret this as address of MSP?
This topic I'm interested, deep inside the mcu nerves system, worth subscribing
What an awesome explanation, sir. Thanks very much
@24:26 this is such a beautiful timestamp.
Its very difficult to give comments for all of ur videos. Honestly, ur almost all videos are very depth informative. Thanku very much for ur afforts. and one more thing I have taken ur almost all courses from udemy. Its very useful for as Embedded Developer.
can you suggest any one best course from udemy of his.
What an awesome explanation
Hi Kiran, when the __attribute__ is imposed at the end of the vectors[] array initialization, the .isr_vector section is having a size of 12 bytes as shown @14:07. When the __attribute__ is moved just after the variable vectors[], the size is 8 bytes as shown @15:00. What could be the reason?
Because at second time he moved the handler function to random section which is the element of vector array so vector array size reduced.
When we use the section attribute it will create a user defined section does user defined section will be part of flash i.e text section???
I have one question that I could not find an answer for it anywhere, basically, If I create a boot-image for baremetal which includes the bootloader and the application elf file. The ooting image will be flashed in the booting flash. After switching on, the first stage boot loader copies the content of the flash memory into the on-chip RAM.

@FastbitEmbeddedBrainAcademy - I really like the course material and your teaching style. I do have a quick question, why is it not possible to get MSP value from linker script file?
Hi, I know it's late, I have a question. Why did you place STACK_START at the beginning of vector table?
another great video. looking forward for future videos!
Thank you very much, this is the lecture i need to start-up my programming in baremetal...
why is the vector table not an array if pointer to function?
Is bootloader same as startupcode??
Thank you for the video. I purchased ur videos mcu1 and 2.
Many thanks for your great effort
solid instruction!
shouldn't the startup code be written in assemply?
Why must .data and .bss intialization be completed before main? In a freehosting environment that bare metal programming suggests, main doesnt even need to exist. The reset isr is the c_entry, and that could call whatever you want, then setup the memory there.

dude ,
this is under which course in Udemy?
How do we assign priorities to the vector table entries. ??
Also, can someone explain why he put a zero in the vector array for Flash Global Interrupt entry?
Wondering about the same thing. It's probably a mistake.
hi instructor,
thank you so much for uploading this type of videos,
i have one query regarding the section creation,
you created section by using attribute it is also possible to create by using pragma section.
if it is possible please provide the sample example.
Could someone please clarify whether there is a mistake in the lecture or not. Throughout the entire lecture, vector array entries used the following syntax:
(uint32_t)&WWDG_IRQHandler;
But then in the end, with the final code, he omitted all of the "address of" (&) operators and just wrote it like this:
(uint32_t)WWDG_IRQHandler;
Was this a mistake? This seems like a mistake but I thought I would see what others thought.
& is redundant since function name itself signifies address.
Fastbit Embedded Brain Academy ah! Of course. Thank you. This is clear now. Thank you very much for your response. Can you also clarify why you put a zero into the vector table entry for Flash Global Interrupt?
I love your courses, really!
I have 2 questions:
