Description
Welcome to Embedded Ethernet Bare-Metal Programming From Ground Up course.
This course is the advanced level course of a 3 course learning path teaching you how to write drivers for the ethernet peripheral as well as write embedded ethernet firmware for different networking protocols such as tcp, udp,http, dhcp etc.
The goal of this advanced course is to teach you how to navigate the microcontroller reference manual and datasheet to extract the right information to professionally build drivers and firmware for the ethernet peripheral and then interface these drivers to the widely used TCP/IP stack for embedded systems - LwIP.
What make this course different from the intermediate level course ?
In this course no HAL libraries are used, purely bare-metal embedded-c and register manipulations. Once this goal is achieved we then go on to build real world embedded ethernet applications.
In this advanced course we also implement more examples of embedded ethernet applications.
So with that understood, let me tell you.
Exactly What You're Getting
This advanced course can be divided into 4 major sections.
First Section
In the first section we give a short introduction to networking and then explore the Ethernet capabilities of the STM32F7 microcontroller.
Second Section
In this section we write bare-metal drivers for all the peripherals we will be using in the course. We write drivers for the ADC, UART, RCC and GPIO.
Third Section
In the third section we write all the bare-metal drivers required to fully configure the ethernet module. We will implement a driver for configuring the ethernet gpio pins to operate in RMII mode, we will implement a driver for transmitting packets, another one for receiving packets etc.
It is in this section that we decide on the ethernet parameters such the speed, the duplex, whether to use auto-negotiation or not etc. After configuring the ethernet module we conclude this section by implementing a function that interfaces our ethernet module to the Light Weight IP (LwIP) library. LwIP is a small independent open-source implementation of the TCP/IP protocol stack designed for embedded systems.
Last Section
The final section begins by giving an introduction to Light Weight IP (LwIP) and then goes on to build embedded ethernet applications. Here are some the applications we shall build
Programming : Checking if the cable is connected
Programming : Getting an IP address from DHCP
Programming : Hosting Webpages withhttpd
Programming : Displaying Realtime Data on Webpages with SSI
Programming : Working with Multiple SSI Tags
Programming : Controlling Hardware from WebServers using CGI
Programming : Injecting HTML code into a Webpage using SSI and CGI
Programming : Implementing a TCP Server
Programming : Implementing a TCP Client
Programming : Implementing a UDP Server
Programming : Implementing a UDP Client
I hope to see you in the course. It comes with a full money back guarantee so you can give it a try.
