Description
Unlock the power of bare-metal embedded development on the Zybo Z7 board using the C programming language. This course is designed for learners who want to go beyond the basics and work directly with the ARM Cortex-A9 processor at the heart of the Zynq-7000 SoC — without any operating system in the way.You will start by setting up a project in Vitis using a pre-built hardware design (XSA file), then dive straight into low-level programming. Learn how to control hardware through memory-mapped registers, implement timing using hardware timers, and write interrupt-driven applications using the Generic Interrupt Controller (GIC).From toggling LEDs and reading buttons to writing UART communication handlers and timer-based scheduling logic, this course provides a complete hands-on path to becoming confident with bare-metal programming on a modern SoC.Each module includes clear explanations, code walkthroughs, and mini-projects that reinforce core concepts. Whether you’re an embedded engineering student, a hobbyist, or a developer experienced with microcontrollers who wants to understand ARM Cortex-A systems better — this course is for you.No prior experience with RTOS or Linux is needed. Just you, your Zybo Z7 board, and C code close to the metal.Enroll now and start mastering embedded development at its core.

Who this course is for
Embedded system learners, Electronic or Computer Engineering students, professionals who want to learn Zynq
