Summary

This blog post by Stephen Friederichs introduces writing a minimal embedded "Hello World" and the Makefiles needed to build it. It explains the basics of compiler invocation, cross-compilation considerations, and simple Makefile structure so readers can compile and flash a microcontroller target.

Key Takeaways

• Set up a basic cross-compilation toolchain invocation for embedded targets
• Write a minimal Makefile with common targets (build, clean, flash) and variable-driven rules
• Create and compile a simple embedded "Hello World" program and understand linking basics
• Integrate flashing/debugging steps into the build workflow for repeatable development

Who Should Read This

Early-career embedded engineers, hobbyists, or firmware developers who want practical guidance on creating a minimal microcontroller program and the Makefiles to build and flash it.
