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.
 
Well, the date has now passed, and Windows 10 is no longer supported. Hopefully, the readers of this forum have done one of the many ways this issue can be handled. If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...
I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
