Let me show you how to master something that most firmware developer only dream of:
Firmware Updates over Ethernet
In this course, you’re going to learn how to implement Firmware Updates using STM32 and the W5500 TCP/IP Offload Ethernet module.
But we’re not just scratching the surface—we’re going deep.
You’ll walk away knowing how to build a fully functional system that can seamlessly download, update, and boot the firmware update like clockwork, with no user intervention.
This course is for the embedded systems pros who are hungry to step up their game and learn a skill that can truly make you stand out.
I’m talking...
- Embedded Network Programming
- Bootloader Development
- Flash Memory Programming
- ....
By the time you're done, you'll be able to:
- Implement DNS to resolve the ip addresses of domains.
- Develop an HTTP client for connecting to the remote update server.
- Implement HTTP GET request for accessing the latest firmware files.
- Parse the firmware data to extract it from the HTTP Response.
- Set up a remote server to manage and deploy those updates.
- Partition the microcontroller’s flash memory to store firmware updates.
- Write the firmware update directly to your microcontroller’s memory.
- Design and implement a custom bootloader that seamlessly boots the new firmware.
You’ll be building systems that you can use in real-world projects, products, and solutions.
What You Get Inside the Course:
A step-by-step guide to creating a complete firmware updates systems over ethernet.
Industry-level techniques that will make you a valuable asset in any embedded systems team
And yeah, by the end, you’ll be walking around with the kind of knowledge that makes other engineers wonder, "How’d they do that?"
Who’s This For?
This course is for embedded engineers, developers, or anyone who's ready to master a high-demand skill. You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you should have basic knowledge of C programming and familiarity with STM32 microcontrollers. We’re going to build on that to take you from “good” to “damn impressive” when it comes to networked embedded systems.
