Mastering Bare-Metal C with STM32
Build Real-Time Embedded Systems from Scratch Using Arm, CMSIS, and the GNU Toolchain
Unlock the full potential of embedded development by learning how to build real-time systems from the ground up—without relying on high-level libraries or abstraction layers. This hands-on guide is designed for engineers, advanced students, and serious hobbyists who want to go beyond tutorials and gain deep, practical knowledge of bare-metal programming on STM32 microcontrollers.
In this comprehensive and methodical resource, you’ll learn how to:
- Set up a clean development environment using the GNU toolchain and open-source utilities
- Write startup code and linker scripts from scratch to understand system initialization at a low level
- Interface directly with hardware using memory-mapped I/O and CMSIS-compliant register definitions
- Build time-critical applications using precise interrupt handling and timer configuration
- Apply real-world design principles to create responsive, reliable bare-metal systems
Through detailed explanations, code walkthroughs, and structured project examples, this book provides a complete roadmap to mastering the Arm Cortex-M architecture with STM32 — giving you full control over your system and the confidence to build production-grade firmware.
If you're looking to eliminate the guesswork and truly understand what happens beneath the layers of abstraction, Mastering Bare-Metal C with STM32 offers the clarity and depth you've been missing.
Whether your goal is to improve your career prospects, contribute to professional embedded projects, or sharpen your low-level programming skills, this book delivers the expertise and practical knowledge you need to take your development to the next level.
Start building real embedded systems — the right way, from the ground up.
