Introduction to ARM Cortex-M Assembly Programming (FREE)

It's a little below my knowledge because I know a lot of Microprocessors/Microcontrollers. I think it is a really good introduction for people who know nothing about the topic.

Israel is capable and the lectures are interesting. You'll need to bear with delays in editing code. Baseline: Good course!

An informative course however many videos lack polish. The sound quality is not stable and the instruction wavers perhaps too far towards the absolute beginner. It seems as if this course was a compilation of several sections taken from other courses by the author.

As this is a free course, I sampled it to decide on buying the instructor's paid courses which seem very promising. I am certain that the instructor is knowledgeable about the material because he presents well thought out solutions. The topics and contents of his courses seem to be planned thoroughly. I found his teaching style somewhat unusual. I enjoyed the lectures and found them valuable but I am sure they would have been much harder to follow with no previous familiarity with the Cortex-M architecture or C programming. For example, in one lesson the instructor describes a branch instruction and the demo code includes the subtraction instruction which has not been described before. Another example is when he uses "second divided by five" magic number but does not explain at all how he calculated the number. A third example is when he uses the watch feature of the IDE, and shows adding the variable to the watch list but does not show how to get the watch tab, it just magically appears during a cut. While completing projects he seems to get immersed in coding and this causes a lack of real explanation what exactly he is doing. The audio could use some improvement, sometimes the pop sounds are a bit disturbing, the typing sounds are annoyingly loud and the volume levels are not the same in the videos.

this is a great introduction course to assembly programming! although I wish the instructor used a different board for the demonstrations, I could apply what I learnt on an arduino board that I have. Overall a nice informative course

It is a very instructional video, but I would recommend to show the documentation for ARM assembly language and give a little explanation how to read them. Somehow, ARM documentation is arranged in a strange way so, helping us on how to scan and skim the whole text, would provide tools enough to get involved in a deeper content.

I'm sorry I had to give such a low rating but I had many reasons. 1. The course title is "ARM Cortex-M Assembly Programming" however the course content is very limited in its discussion of ARM assembly and ARM architecture. I know the title doesn't include ARM architecture however, you really can't do a decent job of discussing assembly language programming without a discussion of the architecture. 2. As far as assembly language is concerned the discussion was limited to those instructions that would be used to setup and turn on and off GPIO pins attached to LEDs on a project board. Less than 10% of the instruction set was covered. 3. There was no discussion of the stack, interrupts, and faults and other important topics, even for a basic assembly course. 4. The course does discuss calling a assembly function from C and calling a C function from assembly, but it doesn't discuss how to pass parameters to a C function from an assembly function and how to get to parameters passed to an assembly function called from a C function. If you are mixing C and assembly and you don't know how to pass parameters to a function you are going to be very limited on what you can do. 5. There were many course errors that should have been detected in in proof reading and review. Here a some of the errors a. In section 4 Lecture 17 "Source Code Inspection" the source code for the first project is previewed. However, at the end of project 1 the source code developed is different than this preview. The previewed code contains several instruction lines that are never discussed and do not appear in the final code. b. The downloadable source code for the first project has the "main" program name input as "nMain" instead of "Main" in the reset handler. As a result the PROVIDED code will not build. c. In Section 4 Lecture 25 "Project 2 Opcodes" there is a discussion of how to create a delay loop. However, the example code shown is DELAY LDR R0,=ONESECOND SUBS R0,R0, #1 BNE DELAY This is not a delay loop. It is an infinite loop as long as ONESECOND does not equal 1. d. In Section 4 Lecture 32 "Exporting an assembly function to C" the following code is presented as a function that returns the value "121". Number MOV R0, #121 STR R0, [R0] BX LR The second instruction line, containing "STR" is a huge mistake. In the lecture dialog it is explained that this saves the value of R0 into R0. What? What that line really does is save the contents of R0, which is 121, into the memory location that R0 points to, memory location 121. I don't think this is what was intended. That area in memory is now corrupt.

Não era o que eu esperava, digo, o conteúdo é rico, possui várias informações, mas estou tentando a dias com o professor para habilitar nas aulas as legendas automáticas, e nada foi feito. Leio bem o inglês, mas tenho dificuldade para escutar.

Estou no início da seção 3 e a parte básica não entrou em muitos detalhes, deve ser por causa do meu conhecimento prévio que foi informado no questionário inicial do curso.

This is a very good course for me since I have no experience in embedded systems/assembly programming and I'm about to take a class on it next semester! I was so scared at first but the instructor helped me understand everything in a short amount of time

Very good course.I like the way the instructor begins from the basics and then builds up. I will just recommend more exercises.

Very good beginner level content. This has helped me a lot, I couldn't understand a a thing in school but this course made things really easy. Looking forward to more courses like this one. Thank you udemy.

The course has much detail. It starts from scratch. Maybe not very suitable to some one who already knows assembly programming but very good for beginners. I highly recommend it if you want to learn assembly programming.

AWESOME COURSE. Great guy, keep up the good work.I I expect courses for other cortex-m processors in the future.

The content is very good, the instructor takes his time to explain every basic detail which is also very nice. My only recommendation will be to have more exercises.
