STOP GUESSING WHY YOUR FIRMWARE WORKS. START KNOWING.
Every embedded engineer hits the same wall eventually: the HAL call that "just works" until it doesn't, the interrupt that fires at the wrong priority, the delay loop that behaves differently the moment you flip on compiler optimization. Vendor libraries are convenient right up until something breaks underneath them, and then you're stuck debugging a black box instead of your own code.
Bare-Metal Embedded C strips that black box away. This is a hands-on, register-level guide to programming ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers with nothing between your code and the silicon — no operating system, no bloated abstraction layer, no mystery. Just C, the datasheet, and complete control over the hardware.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY BUILD
Starting from an empty project directory, you'll construct a complete firmware image from scratch — startup code, vector table, linker script, and all — before moving into real, working peripheral drivers:
- GPIO control with proper debounced button input
- Clock configuration, SysTick, and hardware timers with true microsecond accuracy
- Interrupt-driven design using the NVIC, done the way production firmware actually does it
- UART communication, including a full serial debug console you'll use for the rest of the book
- SPI and I2C drivers wired up to real sensor hardware
- ADC sampling and PWM generation for motor control and LED dimming
- GDB and OpenOCD debugging techniques for diagnosing the bugs that only show up on real hardware
- A complete, multi-peripheral sensor monitoring application that ties every driver together into one properly architected codebase
Every example is a complete, compilable listing, not a fragment you're left to guess around. Every register access is explained at the bit level, so you understand exactly why the code is written the way it is, not just that it works.
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
- Electronics hobbyists ready to graduate from Arduino and see what's actually happening under those convenience functions
- Computer science grads and self-taught developers whose C skills are solid but have never touched real hardware
- Working software engineers moving into embedded roles who need to get productive fast
- Firmware engineers who've only ever used vendor HAL libraries and want to finally understand what's underneath them
- Students who want a textbook that treats them like capable adults, not a slideshow with code screenshots
You should already be comfortable with C — pointers, structs, functions. You don't need any prior embedded experience. Everything else, this book builds from the ground up.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso

Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
Dovrai rispedire i beni o consegnarli a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., senza indebito ritardo e, in ogni caso, entro 14 giorni dal giorno in cui ci hai comunicato la tua volontà di recedere dal presente contratto.
