If you want to get into embedded you’d be better suited learning how to use an o-scope, a meter, and asm/c. If you’re using any sort of hardware that isn’t “mainstream” you’ll be pretty bummed at the results from an LLM.
If it’s okay with you, I’m going to very intentionally do my initial learning on mainstream hardware before moving on to anything beyond that.
Not sure why you're phrasing it like that. Hack away on whatever you want, I care not.
Why not both? An LLM as a tutor, for the o-scope, meter, and assembly is pretty good at getting you unstuck. It doesn't have to do everything for you. It can do the parts you're not interested in and you can focus on the parts that are interesting to you.
I asked an LLM (google search LLM result) how to install steam on Rocky 9 without flatpak this evening, and it completely fucked it up. The correct answer were 3 dnf commands I found on reddit.
I don't know if I'd trust an LLM to teach an o-scope.
