Hello, curious minds! If you are reading this, it means you are interested in the embedded piscine.You probably have a ton of questions before diving in, and we’re going to try to answer as many of them as possible.

The embedded piscine focuses on embedded programming. You won't be handling electronic hardware—for now. In this piscine, you will learn the basics of bare-metal programming and how to read datasheets. It will give you the skills to code your own embedded projects and offer a glimpse into how electronic devices actually work. It’s going to give you a ton of brilliant ideas! But careful, don't stall for too long before getting started—time flies!

How is it organized ?

The piscine lasts 2 weeks, just like the C piscine. The difference is that you'll be working on a custom electronic board made by us. You have to code in C, but on the bright side, there is no Norme 😮💨. Trust us, it’s plenty hard enough as it is. That doesn't mean you should turn in sloppy code, though 😉.
A board will be assigned to you at the start of the piscine, and you must return it at the end—otherwise, expect disciplinary action. We know they look cool and make a nice souvenir, but please think of the next students who want to tackle the piscine 🙏.
