Use-cases ranges from heavy industry to tiny sensors in your everyday life.
# Hardware
## ARM
While your laptop/stationary computer most likely runs some `x86_64` CPU architecture,
odds are your mobile phone is powered by an ARM processor.
The ARM family of Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) architectures is one of the most prevalent processor architectures.

## Registers, IO
A typical way to access and interface with the hardware connected to your microcontroller is by accessing various registers, which is memory regions mapped to some hardware.
# Software
In order to instruct the hardware some sort of software is required.
Software is the instructions for the ARM-processor, telling it which registers and what memory to modify.
