1. Embedded Ethernet Essential Training with CubeMX

        Build Embedded Ethernet Firmware : HTTP, SSI, CGI etc
        4 hours of quality training | Complete source code included
This course is the beginner course of a 3 course learning path teaching you how to write/configure drivers for the ethernet peripheral as well as write embedded ethernet firmware for different networking protocols such as http, dhcp etc.

The goal of this course is to teach you how to build real world embedded ethernet applications using the STM32CubeMX framework.

Lesson  : Controlling Hardware from a WebServer
In this lesson we see how to control our microcontroller from a remote Webserver using CGI
 So with that understood, let me tell you…:

       Exactly What You’re Getting

                 This beginner course can be divided into 3 major sections.

       First Section

 In the first section we give a short introduction to networking  and then explore the ethernet capabilities of the STM32F7 microcontroller.

       Second Section

 In the second section we learn how to configure the ethernet module. It is in this section that we decide on the ethernet parameters such the speed, the duplex, whether to use auto-negotiation or not etc. After configuring the ethernet module we conclude this section by enabling the Light Weight IP (LwIP)  middleware. LwIP is a small independent open-source implementation of the TCP/IP protocol stack  designed for embedded systems.

       Last Section

 The final section begins by giving an introduction to  Light Weight IP (LwIP) and then goes on to build embedded ethernet applications. Here are some the applications we shall build:
Checking if the cable is connected
Getting an IP address from DHCP
Hosting Webpages with httpd
Displaying Realtime Data on Webpages with SSI
Working with Multiple SSI Tags
Controlling Hardware from WebServers using CGI
By the end of this course...

You Will Be Able To :

  • Understand the Fundamentals of Networking.
  • ​Understand the fundamentals of the Light Weight IP (LwIP) stack.
  • ​Configure STM32F7 ethernet modules using CubeMX.
  • ​Write Embedded Ethernet Applications for Hosting Web pages.

Specially Designed For People Who Hate 
Copy/Paste

If you don’t like “Copy/Paste” you’re not alone. I can’t stand it either. I’d literally rather have a piece of code that I wrote from scratch that doesn’t work than someone else’s working code I copied and pasted.

And that’s why I’ve spent months designing and recording this course in which I show you how to locate every single register used and the meaning of every hexadecimal value written into the register. 
Although the course explains every single line of code .... you will also get

Access to the EmbeddedExpertIO Forum

where you can ask questions and discuss embedded systems topics.

2. Embedded Ethernet Programming with HAL

        Build Embedded Ethernet Firmware : HTTP, SSI, CGI etc.           
        11+ hours of quality training | Complete source code included
This course is the intermediate level course the learning path.

                                               What make this course different from the beginner course ? 

In this course we write all the Ethernet drivers ourselves using the the STM32 HAL APIs. Unlike the beginner course, in this course we also implement the Ethernet interface files linking our Ethernet module to the LwIP library ourselves. 

The STM32 Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) provides a simple, generic multi-instance set of APIs (application programming interfaces) to interact with the upper layers like the user application, libraries and stacks.

In this intermediate course we also implement more examples of embedded Ethernet applications.

This intermediate course can be divided into 4 major sections

Lesson  : Developing the User LwIP Init Function
In this lesson we see how to implement a function to initialise the LwIP stack.
This intermediate course can be divided into 4 major sections

       First Section

 In the first section we give a short introduction to networking  and then explore the ethernet capabilities of the STM32F7 microcontroller.

       Second Section

 In this section we write drivers for all the peripherals we will be using in the course. We write drivers for the ADC, UART, RCC and GPIO.

       Third Section

 In the third section we write all the drivers required to fully configure the Ethernet module. We will implement a driver for configuring the Ethernet gpio pins to operate in RMII mode, we will implement a driver for transmitting packets, another one for receiving packets etc.

It is in this section that we decide on the Ethernet parameters such the speed, the duplex, whether to use auto-negotiation or not etc. After configuring the Ethernet module we conclude this section by implementing a function that interfaces our Ethernet module to the Light Weight IP (LwIP) library.

        28+ hours of quality training | Complete source code included
This course is the advanced level course of learning path.

The goal of this advanced course is to teach you how to navigate the microcontroller reference manual and datasheet to extract the right information to professionally build drivers and firmware for the Ethernet peripheral and then interface these drivers to the widely used TCP/IP stack for embedded systems - LwIP.

A little about me : Israel Ninsaw Gbati
Some of you may have taken some of my embedded systems courses from other online platforms. 
This is my private channel. 

I have been writing embedded firmware for years, I have built embedded devices like consumer products and robotic arms.
Till date I have 
trained over 75,000 students in embedded
 firmware development online till date
...including third year undergraduate university students in-person.

If you have taken any of my courses before you will know I start from the absolute basics, I do not assume that the student has any prior knowledge of the topic under discussion. You will also know that by the end of the course you understand the functions of every register used in developing the particular firmware or driver.

This method is the same for all of my published embedded systems courses. 

NOT UNDERSTANDING THE CODE


Sometimes I could get my firmware to work but I couldn’t understand a large portion of the code.

I didn’t know what some of the registers were doing. "Why do we write this hexadecimal number into that particular register ?" I would often ask.
CODE NOT WORKING - WASTED TIME

Other times I could understand every line of code in the firmware but couldn’t get the firmware to work.
CANNOT BUILD ANYTHING NEW -LACK OF CONFIDENCE, IMPOSTER

Because I wasn’t good enough, I couldn’t build exactly what I wanted if there were no already made drivers and libraries out there that I could use. Worst of all I couldn’t even get another microcontroller to work apart from the microcontroller used in class.
Long story short, I overcame all of this....
I devised a plan to master the fundamentals...
Quickly read the sections of interest in the datasheet...
Created my own firmware development checklist...
Created my own study guide...

I started creating courses to help other people like yourself master embedded systems development in the most efficient way possible, no waste of time, no frustrations. There is no need for you to go through the same roadblocks and frustrations I went through  some years ago.
Our courses have been reviewed by 1000+ students
Here are some of the reviews
