RP2040 Assembly Programming for Embedded Systems

This course takes you beyond high-level languages and into the core of how embedded systems truly work. By learning assembly programming on the RP2040, you will gain fine-grained control over hardware, improve execution speed, reduce memory usage, and develop a deep understanding of microcontroller architecture. Whether you are an electronics student, embedded developer, or firmware engineer, this course equips you with skills that are essential for performance-critical and resource-constrained systems.

What You Will Learn

• RP2040 architecture, registers, and memory map
• ARM Cortex-M0+ instruction set fundamentals
• Writing, assembling, and debugging RP2040 assembly code
• GPIO control, timers, interrupts, and peripheral access
• Optimizing embedded applications for speed and size
• Interfacing assembly routines with C/C++ projects

Course Highlights

This course focuses on real-world embedded use cases using the RP2040 microcontroller found in the Raspberry Pi Pico. You will start with the basics of assembly language syntax and gradually move into advanced topics such as direct register manipulation, interrupt handling, and hardware-level optimization. Practical examples and exercises ensure that you can immediately apply what you learn to your own embedded projects.

By the end of the course, you will be confident in writing efficient assembly programs, understanding compiler output, and debugging low-level firmware issues that are often hidden when using high-level languages.
