Sorry but I'm with Enrico with this - start on simple embedded boards. I would recommend a ARM Cortex based part, probably one of the ST Nucleo boards but the TI Launchpads are good too. If you want to learn C for embedded stuff then keep away from Linux targets for now. Compact is being a bit naughty with his examples which are chosen to look obscure: SIMCO &= ~0x07; can be written like this: foo_register = foo_register & 0xf8; and what the line of code is doing is clearing bits 2 down to 0 in the register. (SIMCO or foo_register are just names for a variable which has been set up to be in the memory location of a control register in the processor). The best book, not only about C, but the best programming language manual ever is "The C programming Language" (this is only an opinion ). https://www.amazon.co.uk/C-Programming-Language-2nd/dp/0131103628/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488793346&sr=8-1&keywords=c+pr… You'll still need some tutorial stuff to go with your chosen board but if you stick with TI or ST you'll be OK.

Try "Programming From the Ground Up", which teaches assembly without assuming prior programming knowledge. It should give you a good idea on how a processor actually functions and how programming languages actually work. From there, it should be easy to move to C.
