Embedded Software Design (eBook, PDF)

A Practical Approach to Architecture, Processes, and Coding Techniques

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

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 Processes
• Development and Coding Skills

Embedded 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.

You will:

• Learn how to design and build embedded systems in a practical manner
• Understand what sound embedded system design is and how to employ it
• Explore modern development processes for quality systems
• Know where the bits hit the silicon: how to select a microcontroller
• Master techniques to write configurable, automated code

Autorenporträt

Jacob Beningo is an embedded software consultant with over 15 years of experience in microcontroller based real-time embedded systems. After spending over ten years designing embedded systems for automotive,defense and space industries, Jacob founded Beningo Embedded Group in 2009. Jacob has worked with clients in more than a dozen countries to dramatically transform their businesses by improving product quality, cost and time to market. He has published more than 200 articles on embedded software development techniques, is a sought-after speaker and technical trainer who holds three degrees which include a Masters of Engineering from the University of Michigan. Jacob is an avid writer, trainer, consultant and entrepreneur who transforms the complex into simple and understandable concepts that accelerate technological innovation.

Jacob has demonstrated his leadership in the embedded systems industry by consulting and training at companies such as General Motors, Intel, Infineon and Renesas along with successfully completing over 50 projects. Jacob also speaks at and is involved in the embedded track selection committees at ARM Techcon, Embedded System Conferences and Sensor Expo. Jacob holds Bachelor's degrees in Electrical Engineering, Physics and Mathematics from Central Michigan University and a Master's degree in Space Systems Engineering from the University of Michigan.

In his spare time, Jacob enjoys spending time with his family, reading, writing, playing hockey and golf. In clear skies, he can often be found outside with his telescope, sipping a fine scotch while imaging the sky.
