Embedded engineering demands a solid understanding of hardware functionality as well as software development and programming skills. If you really want to pursue this career you must be highly motivated and passionate about it. As the well-known saying goes, "Hardware is hard!". But don't panic and be patient for the challenges you may encounter along this exciting journey. By dedicating enough time and effort practicing and doing projects you will soon find yourself as a real embedded engineer! ๐
## โ What is an Embedded System?
โถ๏ธ [ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765 Standard:](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/en/#iso:std:iso-iec-ieee:24765:ed-2:v1:en)
> **computer system** that is **part of a larger system** and **performs some of the requirements of that system**. For example, a computer system
used in an aircraft or rapid transit system.
>
> The hardware and software of an embedded system are usually **minimized** and **optimized** for **specific functions**. The embedded system includes at least one microcontroller, microprocessor or digital signal processor. The embedded system designed to **optimize reliability, cost, size and power saving for applications**.
โถ๏ธ ["Making Embedded Systems" Book:](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/making-embedded-systems/9781449308889/)
> An embedded system is a **computerized system** that is **purpose built for its application**.
โถ๏ธ ["Computer Organization and Embedded Systems" Book:](https://a.co/d/2lt4Svf)
> A **physical system** that employs **computer control** for a **specific purpose**, rather than for general-purpose computation, is referred to as an embedded system.
โถ๏ธ [Analog Devices Glossary:](https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/glossary/embedded-system.html)
> An embedded system is a system in which the **computer** (generally a microcontroller or microprocessor) is included **as an integral part of the system**.
>
> Often, the computer is **relatively invisible to the user**, without obvious applications, files, or operating systems. Examples of products with invisible embedded systems are the controller that runs a microwave oven or the engine control system of a modern automobile.
โถ๏ธ [Embedded Systems Glossary:](https://barrgroup.com/embedded-systems/glossary-e)
> A combination of **computer hardware and software**, and perhaps **additional mechanical or other parts**, designed to perform a **dedicated function**.
>
> In some cases, embedded systems are **part of a larger system** or product, as in the case of an antilock braking system in a car.
## ๐บ๏ธ The Roadmap
The embedded systems engineering roadmap is structured into three fundamental areas: **SOFTWARE**, **HARDWARE**, and **SOFT SKILLS**.
While the intersection of hardware and software is prevalent in embedded systems, specific job titles tend to emphasize one aspect over the other. For instance, roles like "Embedded Software Engineer/Developer," "Firmware Engineer/Developer," and "Embedded Linux Engineer/Developer" predominantly focus on software development. In contrast, positions such as "Embedded Hardware Engineer" and "Hardware Design Engineer" primarily deal with hardware design and electronics. Moreover, there are roles like "Embedded Systems Engineer" that necessitate a comprehensive understanding of both hardware and software.
It's crucial to note that each company in the embedded industry may have unique requirements for a given job title. Therefore, it's essential to tailor your focus based on your career aspirations. If you're seeking an embedded software position, prioritize the software-related skills outlined in the roadmap. Conversely, if you're interested in an embedded hardware job, concentrate on hardware skills and dedicate more time to learning electronics.
The roadmap provides a comprehensive guide to the essential topics for a typical "Embedded Systems Engineer" role. By delving into both software and hardware aspects, you can develop the necessary skills to thrive in this dynamic field. However, if you have a clear preference for software or hardware, you can tailor your learning path accordingly.

## ๐ Don't Know Where to Start!
**If you feel overwhelmed by the extensive list of topics in the roadmap, you're not alone. Before delving too deeply, let's ease into it with some simple starter projects. Learning embedded systems engineering takes time and effort. Don't get discouraged if you don't understand something right away. Keep practicing and you will eventually get there.**
### โ๏ธ Projects
Engaging in hands-on projects is the most effective approach to learning. Rather than solely relying on theoretical knowledge from books or articles. Undertaking projects allows for practical learning experiences. Even a seemingly basic project has the potential to teach you more than hours of aimless reading. You can refer to books, articles, and courses when faced with difficulties in understanding the problems in real-world projects.
Don't try to build a complex project right away. Start with small, manageable projects to get your feet wet.

### โณ๏ธ FPGA Development
FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays) are specialized integrated circuits that can be configured to perform various digital logic functions. They are widely used in embedded systems to achieve high performance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. FPGA designers use hardware description languages (HDLs) to create customized circuits that map directly to the FPGA architecture. Since FPGA engineering and verification differ significantly from embedded software development, it stands as a specialized domain within embedded systems.

A file system is a way of organizing data on a storage device, such as a hard drive, flash drive, or solid-state drive. It provides a way to store, access, and manage files, which are collections of data that can be accessed individually. File systems in embedded systems are typically lightweight and optimized for efficiency, considering the limited resources and specific requirements of embedded devices. They often employ simpler file structures and data structures compared to desktop or server file systems.

### โณ๏ธ Hardware Simulation / Emulation
Embedded system development often involves simulating or emulating hardware environments to test and debug software before deploying it on actual hardware. Simulation tools create virtual models of hardware systems, while emulation tools replicate the actual hardware behavior using real hardware components. These tools offer several advantages, including reducing development time, minimizing hardware costs, and enhancing software reliability.

### โณ๏ธ Sensors & Actuators
Sensors and actuators are the eyes and hands of embedded systems. They are responsible for gathering information about the environment and taking actions based on that information. Sensors convert physical phenomena, such as temperature, light, or sound, into electrical signals that can be processed by the embedded system. Actuators, on the other hand, convert electrical signals into physical actions, such as controlling the speed of a motor or opening and closing a valve.

### โณ๏ธ Operating Systems
Embedded systems can be programmed with either an operating system (OS) or directly on the hardware, known as bare-metal programming. Each approach has its own advantages and disadvantages. Embedded operating systems provide a layer of abstraction between the hardware and the application code, offering benefits like resource management, task scheduling, error handling, and communication capabilities. However, they add overhead and may not be suitable for memory-constrained applications.

#### ๐ต Real-Time Operating Systems
Real-time operating systems (RTOS) are specialized operating systems designed to meet strict timing deadlines. They are used in embedded systems where timing is critical, such as avionics, robotics, and medical devices. RTOSs provide a deterministic environment in which tasks can be executed with predictable timing. This ensures that critical tasks are always executed on time, even in the presence of interrupts and other disruptions.

### โณ๏ธ Build System
Build systems automate the process of compiling and linking source code into executable programs. They are essential tools for software development, as they can help to improve the efficiency and consistency of the build process. Popular build systems include Make, and CMake.
#### ๐ต Compilers / GCC
GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) is a free and open-source compiler system that can compile programs for many different programming languages, including C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, and Go. GCC is a popular choice for embedded systems development due to its open source nature, maturity, stability, portability, performance, and large community. On the other hand proprietary compilers like Keil and IAR offer toolchain support, target-specific optimizations, and customer support, which may be preferred for specific projects.
