%X In this article, the idea of the universal learning system for embedded systems is presented. The proposed system provides a complete learning environment consisting of the information collection center, preference estimation system, Q&A center, forum, and virtual classroom. The skeleton of the proposed system is a preference estimation system, which helps users know the relationship between different hardware kits and suggests suitable hardware kits to users to learn embedded systems. Then, the proposed system provides the virtual classroom and Q&A service for users to start their classes. Besides, users can share design samples and experience, and join discussions through the forum of the proposed system. For demonstration, three embedded hardware platforms are introduced and applied by the proposed learning system. The results show that most students feel the proposed learning system can effectively help with their embedded software design.
