We take a look at 3 different architectures ARM, PowePC, TriCore.
We take a look at the startup sequence with the Reset Vector and Interrupt Vector table.
We take a deeper look at the EABI part and instructions and what the Harvard architecture looks like.
We continue with the Assembler part.
We take a look at the configuration of the microcontroller.
We take a look at the crystal and concepts with the PLL, the system clock, prescaler and systick.
We take a look at how the memory layout can look like how data ends up in different parts of the memory.
We delve into different types of memory within the MCU.
We take a look at external memories and communication.
We explain different concepts that are important for a real-time system such as RTOS, the scheduler, bare metal, HAL, LL.
We take a look at interrupt and polling concepts and what it means with context switch in a real-time system and 
how different architectures handle it and how it is handled in different real-time system concepts.
We write code via IDE and go through the tool chain and debug our code via JTAG/SWD.
We set up other debug interfaces: UART, CAN.
We take a deeper look at internal communication protocols I2C, SPI via Oscilloscope and Logic analyzer.
We also take a look at UART and CAN via Oscilloscope and Logic analyzer.
We take a look at the OSI layers of different communication protocols.
We continue with some sensors via ADC and some analog supply via DAC together with measurement via instruments.
We take a look at PWM, LDO and HDO outputs together with drivers and measure via instruments.
We compare and take a look at other types of processors and systems such as FPGA, ASIC, DSP, MPU, GPU, NPU, SoC.
We take a deeper look at bootloader and firmware update.
We take a look at secure communication and data integrity.
We look at how we can manage power consumption together with different technologies and different states and what is offered from MCU.
