| Programming Embedded Systems will help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to achieve proficiency with embedded software. This edition has been updated to cover the latest hardware designs & development methodologies. The techniques & code examples presented here are directly applicable to real-world embedded software projects of all sorts. Examples use the free GNU software programming tools, the eCos & Linux operating systems, and a low-cost hardware platform specially developed for this book.
If you obtain these tools along with Programming Embedded Systems, Second Edition, you'll have a full environment for exploring embedded systems in depth. But even if you work with different hardware and software, the principles covered in this book apply. Topics include:
- How building & loading programs differ from desktop or server computers;
- Basic debugging techniques - a critical skill when working with minimally endowed embedded systems;
- Handling different types of memory;
- Interrupts, and the monitoring & control of on-chip and external peripherals;- Determining whether you have real-time requirements, and whether your operating system & application can meet those requirements;
- Task synchronization with real-time operating systems & embedded Linux;
- Optimizing embedded software for size, speed, and power consumption;
- Working examples for eCos and embedded Linux.
So whether you're writing your first embedded program, designing the latest generation of hand-held whatchamacalits, or managing the people who do, this book is for you. Programming Embedded Systems will help you develop the knowledge and skills you need to achieve proficiency with embedded software. | |
