My current Situation : -
Please help me by guiding what next I should learn, any specific microcontroller, microprocessor, any specific area which is more in demand e.g. Automobile, home appliance, printer, laptop, TV, washing machine, Smartphone etc...
- Already worked as a contractor from more than 10 years in the area of ERP integration development and architecture (Oracle SOA), still not getting stable job as, project on this technology are executed by service-based company (and everybody knows their ethics and moral)
- So, want to migrate into embedded development their by getting chance to get job in product companies. (not service companies)
- Already learn basic electronics, difference between microprocessor and microcontroller, I am already expert in C, C++, knows little bit Assembly (but not full), all type of protocol – UART, i2C, SPI, CAN.
- Now, I don’t know what should be my next step ? (do I simply use keil MDK-ARM to write some code accomplishing certain functionality but then the question is on which processor or microcontroller. And I can’t buy any board so is there any simulator of entire processor/microcontroller/board based on which I can write a code in C or C++ and that I can show in an interview to get a job.
- Also I need to show at least 1 year experience in embedded development on top of my 10 years non-embedded development so to justify that I need any industry-specific knowledge which means those product and technology (microprocessor/microcontroller) which are actually used by companies so that on interview I can justify them that I have the knowledge what they are looking as getting a job on being a fresher is impossible in India where currently I am staying so I have to show some experience.
- Maybe 1 or 2 industry-specific real-world projects will help me in this aspect, but I don’t know where I can get these projects. As only blinking an LED on board or controlling a motor speed won’t get me a job.
Please help me by guiding what next I should learn, any specific microcontroller, microprocessor, any specific area which is more in demand e.g. Automobile, home appliance, printer, laptop, TV, washing machine, Smartphone etc...
