Course Overview

This practical one-day course teaches embedded developers how to use Claude Code effectively for firmware development. Learn specific prompting techniques that work well for embedded C/C++, hardware interfaces, and resource-constrained systems.

Claude Code can dramatically accelerate embedded development, but only if you know how to use it effectively for low-level programming. This course bridges that gap, teaching you how to leverage Claude’s capabilities while maintaining the precision and efficiency embedded systems demand. You’ll learn to write prompts that generate production-quality drivers, create comprehensive test suites for hardware interfaces, and accelerate documentation tasks—all while ensuring the code meets embedded best practices for memory usage, real-time performance, and hardware compatibility.
