Embedded Systems: Learn About Hardware/Software & University Courses

AI Thread Summary
Embedded systems encompass both hardware and software components, and gaining expertise in this field is best achieved through hands-on experience. Recommended learning includes completing projects that involve selecting a CPU, integrating flash and RAM, and successfully running a program that communicates via a serial port. Mastery in embedded systems also requires proficiency in the C programming language and understanding software architecture. For further reading, books by Jack Ganssle are suggested, along with exploring course structures from various universities that focus on embedded systems.

I wish to know some details about embedded systems both hardware and software. can anyone help me suggesting good books on the same and possibly some course structures of some universities on embedded systems?

Look up Jack Ganssle books.
But basically from my experience embedded system programming or knowlegde is best learn from experience, meaning take a project to completion. For example, pick a cpu, slap flash and ram around it, and get
a program running that display through the serial port. If you can do this with
any cpu then you have master embedded system, but only interm of development environment. Next you have to master C language and software architecture.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
