Embedded Systems Architecture: Explore architectural concepts, pragmatic design patterns, and best practices to produce robust systems

by Daniele Lacamera

A comprehensive guide to reaping the benefits of architectural modeling in embedded design Embedded systems are self-contained units that have a dedicated purpose within a device. We come across a variety of applications of embedded systems in navigation tools, telecom applications, and networking equipment, to name just a few. Embedded Systems Architecture begins with a bird's eye view of embedded development and how it differs from the other systems that you may be familiar with. You'll first be guided to setting up a development environment and then move on to the core system architectural concepts, exploring pragmatic designs, boot-up mechanisms, and memory management. Next, you'll look at the programming interface and device drivers to establish communication via TCP/IP and take measures to increase the security of IoT solutions. Lastly, you'll be introduced to parallel multithreaded applications through the development of a scheduler. By the end of the book, you will have explored various aspects of embedded architecture such as memory management, focusing on a memory-safe approach, multithreading, and the RTOS approach. If you're a software developer or designer wanting to learn about embedded programming, this is the book for you. You'll also find this book useful if you're a less experienced embedded programmer willing to expand your knowledge.
