The course (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnj-7XwTYRI&amp;list=PLPW8O6W-1chwyTzI3BHwBLbGQoPFxPAPM">course link</a>) is a great introduction about embedded programming using the <a href="https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spmu296/spmu296.pdf?ts=1775651656826&amp;ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F">Tiva™ C Series</a> dev board.</p> <p><img src="EK_TM4C123GXL.jpg" alt="Tiva™ C Series Dev board"></p> <p>The instructor in the videos uses IAR as the IDE but also offers Keil as an alternative. He also recommends to use Windows to follow this course. After some episodes of this interesting course, I decided that I would give a try to break free from Keil&rsquo;s ecosystem and try to get an open-source alternative on Linux (Debian).</p>
