Embedded Systems Architecture: Explore architectural concepts, pragmatic design patterns, and best practices to produce robust systems
內容描述
Learn to design and develop safe and reliable embedded systemsKey FeaturesIdentify and overcome challenges in embedded environmentsUnderstand the steps required to increase the security of IoT solutionsBuild safety-critical and memory-safe parallel and distributed embedded systemsBook DescriptionEmbedded systems are self-contained devices with a dedicated purpose. We come across a variety of fields of applications for embedded systems in industries such as automotive, telecommunications, healthcare and consumer electronics, just to name 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 will first be guided to set up an optimal development environment, then move on to software tools and methodologies to improve the work flow. You will explore the boot-up mechanisms and the memory management strategies typical of a real-time embedded system. Through the analysis of the programming interface of the reference microcontroller, you'll look at the implementation of the features and the device drivers. Next, you'll learn about the techniques used to reduce power consumption. Then you will be introduced to the technologies, protocols and security aspects related to integrating the system into IoT solutions.By the end of the book, you will have explored various aspects of embedded architecture, including task synchronization in a multi-threading environment, and the safety models adopted by modern real-time operating systems.What you will learnParticipate in the design and definition phase of an embedded productGet to grips with writing code for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollersBuild an embedded development lab and optimize the workflowWrite memory-safe codeUnderstand the architecture behind the communication interfacesUnderstand the design and development patterns for connected and distributed devices in the IoTMaster multitask parallel execution patterns and real-time operating systemsWho This Book Is ForIf 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.Table of ContentsEmbedded systems: A pragmatic approachWork environment and work flow optimizationArchitectural patternsThe boot-up procedureMemory managementGeneral purpose peripheralsLocal bus interfaces communicationPower Management and energy savingDistributed systems and IoT architectureParallel tasks and schedulingReal Time Operating Systems
