I have always been curious about startup files. I mean I have never had a chance to go into details but like reading it gives me a feeling that the board is sort of talking to me (weird, I know!). I know the basics about it that it prepares the hardware and runtime environment — initialise the stack pointer etc. I know it comes mostly with the board, but do they hire actual people to do this job: write the start up file for the board, or has AI replaced it for the people? I mean as opposed to other programming field, I know it‘s a bit tricky in case of Embedded Systems since it requires dealing with hardware problems as well, but I mean I believe it might be possible to use AI for it, no?

Hello people,
I am just starting with Embedded Systems. I am going to use STM32f4 Nucleo board. I have two options available to start programming: VS code and STM32 Cube IDE. I think you people already know the pros and cons for both for a beginner. I am already working as an IT administrator in a company and is starting with Embedded because this is my passion. My question is that given that I cannot focus on it full time, should I start with CubeIDE given that setting up the environment is pretty easy and I could focus more on programming itself, or should I go with VS code where setting up the environment would be bit of a headache but of course I will be familiar with the subject in the end, but it will delay the programming itself for a bit. What do you people suggest? Thank you in advance!

I am in Austria in the southern part around Seefeld Village. I must say first what a beautiful country! I wanted to ask if there are any places you would recommend that we should go for? Something which is fun but calm and not chaotic: like we went for swimming today and it was really good experience. I mean the view with outdoor pool was mesmerising! We would leave for Munich tomorrow in the evening, so something around which is fun and calm? Thank you in advance.
