Five 5-star reviews at One 5-star review, one 4-star review at One 5-star review, one 3-star review at This text provides a firm foundation in the knowledge, skills and techniques needed to develop and produce real-time, and in particular, embedded systems. Its core aim is to convince readers that real-time embedded systems need to be engineered in a rigorous, professional and organised way. It does this by taking the reader through all the key aspects of a total development approach, including analysis, specification, design and design methods, source code testing, performance issues and development tools. The material is suitable for both newcomers to the subject and experienced developers. Changes for the second edition. Chap.1 Real-Time Systems — Setting the Scene. Updated and additional material on programmable SOC devices (FPGAs and Multicores). Chap.8 Practical Diagramming Methods. Significant rewrite and updates, particularly in the area of UML diagramming. Chap.12 Development Tools. Significant updating, with an emphasis on newer tools (e.g. Eclipse-based IDEs) and code examples being very much C-based.
