Join HackadayU for AVR: Architecture, Assembly and Reverse Engineering from instructor Uri Shaked.

<h3>HackadayU is pleased to offer <a href="https://hackaday.io/project/173667-embedded-serial-buses" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>AVR: Architecture, Assembly and Reverse Engineering, with instructor Uri Shaked. </h3>Classes are live and will take place Wednesdays at 2pm EST (Starting January 27th), and a live Q&amp;A session will take place right after each class for questions and help from the Instructor. <a href="https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=superconference%40hackaday.io&amp;ctz=America%2FNew_York" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Link to the calendar</a> for easy timezone conversion.Overview: We&#x27;ll explore the hidden depths of the AVR-8 architecture and dive into the internals of registers, look under the hood of the compiler and learn the basics of reverse engineering AVR code.<ul><li>Class 1: We&#x27;ll learn how the memory space is organized, explore the I/O space and the register space, become friends with the ATmega328P datasheet, and see how our C code can interact with the on-chip peripherals (such as GPIO) by directly accessing the hardware registers.</li><li>Class 2: Today we&#x27;ll get our hands dirty with Assembly code and learn how to use it in our Arduino code. We&#x27;ll go over the basics of AVR assembly: working with registers, the program counter, performing arithmetic operations and their effect on the status register, and using the asm statement to include inline assembly in our code.</li><li>Class 3: We&#x27;ll get deeper into AVR assembly, covering topics such as: the stack pointer, branches and method calls, the interrupt vector, conditional instructions, and data transfer instructions.</li><li>Class 4: Let&#x27;s take a look under the hood! We&#x27;ll take a look at the source code of the Arduino&#x27;s Wiring library, and then learn how to see the assembly code produced by the Arduino compiler using avr-objdump, and start practicing reading AVR assembly code and understanding it.</li><li>Class 5: We&#x27;ll get even more hands-on AVR assembly experience by writing a complete program from scratch, learning how to set up and utilize the built-in AVR Timer peripherals.</li></ul>Schedule: The course will consist of five sessions in total. Each section will contain a live instructor taught class, followed by office hours where the instructors will be available for questions. Prerequisites: Students should be fluent in Arduino programming and have a basic knowledge of electronics (e.g. you should know what is an LED and how to properly wire it to an Arduino board), and be familiar with Bitwise Math.Hardware: No hardware will be needed for this course.Computer / OS: 4GB ram or more. Modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.). Software downloads: This course will use Chrome and the online simulator at <a href="https://wokwi.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://wokwi.com</a>.Optional: Node.js + avr-gdb for interfacing with GDB (instructions will be provided prior to the relevant class).Certificate: HackadayU is proud to offer a Certificate of Completion for this course. Students will complete a project to receive a badge.About the instructor: Uri Shaked is a maker who loves voiding warranties. He&#x27;s currently building AVR8js, an open-source AVR simulator in JavaScript and working on &quot;The Skull&quot;, an ATtiny85 reverse engineering puzzle.
