By Rowan Keyston

STM32 Bare-Metal Programming for Real-Time Embedded Systems
From startup code and linker scripts to deterministic interrupts, motor control, and safety-critical firmware - all without an RTOS.
This book gives you complete control over STM32 microcontrollers, enabling you to build real-time embedded systems with predictable timing, high reliability, and production-ready quality. You'll learn how STM32 actually boots, how to write startup code and custom linker scripts, configure clocks, PLLs, buses, and peripherals, and achieve microsecond-level timing guarantees.
Explore bare-metal GPIO, timers, ADC, DMA, USART, SPI, and I2C without HAL overhead. Master deterministic interrupt design, motor control loops, PWM synchronization, FOC principles, and safety-critical firmware with watchdogs and fault handlers. Learn how to structure robust firmware architectures and debug at the hardware level using GDB, SWO, and cycle-accurate analysis.
Every chapter includes hands-on projects reflecting real-world embedded development, making this ideal for STM32 developers, robotics engineers, students, and anyone who wants deep understanding of Cortex-M internals. Build firmware you trust, eliminate timing surprises, and gain full bare-metal mastery.
