Overview of this book

Bare-Metal Embedded C Programming takes you on an unparalleled journey to equip you with the skills and knowledge to excel in the world of embedded systems. The author, with over a decade of hands-on experience in engineering, takes a unique, practical approach to teach you how to decode microcontroller datasheets so that you’re able to extract vital information for precise firmware development. Register manipulation will become second nature to you as you learn to craft optimized code from scratch. The book provides in-depth insights into the hardware intricacies of microcontrollers. You'll navigate user manuals and documentation with ease, ensuring a profound understanding of the underlying technology. The true uniqueness of this book lies in its commitment to fostering independent expertise. Instead of simply copy pasting, you'll develop the capability to create firmware with confidence, paving the way for professional-grade mastery. By the end of this book, you'll have honed your skills in reading datasheets, performing register manipulations, and crafting optimized code, as well as gained the confidence needed to navigate hardware intricacies and write optimized firmware independently, making you a proficient and self-reliant embedded systems developer.

Understanding Direct Memory Access (DMA)

DMA is a feature that can significantly elevate the performance of your embedded systems. If you’ve been dealing with data transfers in your microcontroller projects, you know how taxing it can be on the CPU to handle all that data movement. This is where DMA steps in as a game-changer, offloading the data transfer tasks from the CPU and allowing it to focus on more critical functions. Let’s see how it works.

How DMA works

So, what exactly is DMA, and how does it work? In simple terms, DMA is a method that allows peripherals within a microcontroller to transfer data directly to and from memory, without requiring continuous CPU intervention. Imagine it as a dedicated assistant that takes over the tedious task of moving boxes (data) so that you (the CPU) can focus on more important work, such as solving complex problems or managing other peripherals.

A typical DMA controller in a microcontroller has multiple channels, each...
