Bare Metal Programming

Bare Metal Programming !!!!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳
Welcome to the first cool chapter.

Bare metal programming is the act of writing code that can run on silicon without any fancy dependencies such as a kernel.

This chapter is important because both Firmware and Drivers are typically Bare-metal programs themselves.

This chapter takes you through the process of writing a program that does not depend on the standard library; A program that can be loaded and ran on any board with a processor and some bit of memory... be it an arduino, an esp, a pregnancy-test-device or a custom board that you manufactured in your bedroom.

Here are 2 alternative resources :

  1. Philipp Oppermann's blog
  2. Embedonomicon

Philipp Oppermann's blog covered Bare-metal programming very well. Philipp's blog covers the topic across two chapters, you can read them here 👇🏽:

The Embedonomicon gives you a more detailed and systematic experience.
Two cents : Start with the Blog and then move on to the Embedonomicon.
