Bare Metal Programming

Understands the fundamentals of Bare Metal Programming. Applies basic practices in daily work. Follows recommendations from the team and documentation.

Independently develops bare-metal systems: PLL initialization, MPU configuration, DMA transfers. Writes bootloaders and firmware for specific platforms with direct register access.

Designs complex bare-metal systems with custom scheduler and HAL. Optimizes startup sequence, configures cache coherency, implements bootchain with firmware signature verification.

Defines bare-metal development architectural standards for the product line. Establishes strategy for porting between ARM/RISC-V architectures, leads review of critical system components.

Shapes enterprise bare-metal platform strategy. Defines approaches to safety-critical bare-metal system certification (IEC 61508), mentors lead architects in low-level software.
