An embedded system is a processor system that is integrated (embedded) in a technical context. The computer either performs monitoring, control or regulation functions or is responsible for a form of data or signal processing, for example encryption or decryption, coding or decoding or filtering.

Programming of an STM32 microcontroller using Hardware Abstraction Layers and a real-time operating system is presented and applied in the course.
