    Yeah. Particularly for firmware you have to get the low level basics strong like assembly instructions, bit manipulation (very very important), memcpy. Cache basics, memory management etc. Then advanced C concept like pointers, function pointers, call back functions, void pointers, structure and unions; data structures like linked list and arrays; heap, stack and queues, etc.
    Best link would be geeks for geeks to prepare for embedded interviews.
    Books would be "Computer architecture by David A Patterson" and "Operating System" by Silverschatz and Galvin
