I am a fresher scheduled for my first face-to-face interview tomorrow as an embedded developer. The interview will primarily focus on C, Embedded C, SPI, I2C, and UART.
Could you please suggest which topics are the most important for me to be well-prepared and clear on?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, You mentioned all the technical topics related to the FW development, of course all are important. You should have basic understanding of the mentioned topics, but these are technical things which can acquired or can be learn. I think interviewers are looking for learning attitude, curiosity more. You should present yourself as learner and how well you can adopt the challenges. Hope it helps.
All the best!! You will do great.
As the interview is already scheduled tomorrow, I would just recommend you to just revise the following things –
>> Embedded C
1) Structure, Union, typedef, enum
2) Difference between Embedded C and C
3) Go through some Pattern Printing Problems.
4) Storage Classes
>> Communication Protocols Basics of UART, SPI, I2C and CAN.
Best Wishes to you for the Interview.
