Embedded Software Design: A Practical Approach to Architecture, Processes, and Coding Techniques 1st ed.

This book will teach you how to design higher-quality embedded software from concept through production. Embedded systems are typically designed using microcontrollers to build electronic systems with a dedicated function and real-time responses. Modern systems need to carefully balance a complex set of features, manage security, and even run machine learning inferences while maintaining reasonable costs, scalability, and robustness. This book is organized into three critical areas:Software Architecture and Design Agile, DevOps, and ProcessesDevelopment and Coding SkillsEmbedded System Design starts with a basic introduction to embedded software architecture and the considerations for a successful design. We then break down how to architect an RTOS-based application and explore common design patterns and building blocks. Next, we discuss embedded software design processes such as TDD, CI/CD, modeling, and simulation that can be used to accelerate development. Finally, we will discuss how to select a microcontroller, write configurable code, coding strategies, techniques, and tools developers can’t live without.  By the end of this book, you will have a defined development process, understand modern software architecture, and be equipped to start building embedded systems. What You Will LearnLearn how to design and build embedded systems in a practical mannerUnderstand what sound embedded system design is and how to employ itExplore modern development processes for quality systemsKnow where the bits hit the silicon: how to select a microcontrollerMaster techniques to write configurable, automated codeWho This Book Is For Embedded software and hardware engineers, enthusiasts, or any stakeholders who would like to learn modern techniques for designing and building embedded systems. The book assumes basic C and microcontroller programming knowledge.
