Interested in developing embedded systems? Since they donâ t tolerate
inefficiency, these systems require a disciplined approach to
programming. This easy-to-read guide helps you cultivate a host of good
development practices, based on classic software design patterns and new
patterns unique to embedded programming. Learn how to build system
architecture for processors, not operating systems, and discover
specific techniques for dealing with hardware difficulties and
manufacturing requirements.
Written by an expert whoâ s created embedded systems ranging from urban
surveillance and DNA scanners to childrenâ s toys, this book is ideal
for intermediate and experienced programmers, no matter what platform
you use.
- Optimize your system to reduce cost and increase performance
- Develop an architecture that makes your software robust in
resource-constrained environments
- Explore sensors, motors, and other I/O devices
- Do more with less: reduce RAM consumption, code space, processor
cycles, and power consumption
- Learn how to update embedded code directly in the processor
- Discover how to implement complex mathematics on small processors
- Understand what interviewers look for when you apply for an embedded
systems job
Making Embedded Systems is the book for a C programmer who wants to
enter the fun (and lucrative) world of embedded systems. Itâ s very well
writtenâ entertaining, evenâ and filled with clear illustrations.
