Embedded Systems Architecture: Explore architectural concepts, pragmatic design patterns, and best practices to produce robust systems (1)

Synopsis

Learn embedded systems development with practical design patterns, essential workflows, and memory-safe techniques to build secure, reliable, and energy-efficient devicesKey FeaturesTackle real-world challenges in embedded development, from boot-up to distributed IoT systemsApply memory management, peripheral integration, and power optimization techniquesBuild robust, secure, and scalable solutions with practical guidance on RTOS and task schedulingBook 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 forThis book is for software developers and designers seeking a practical introduction to embedded programming, as well as early-career embedded engineers wanting to deepen their understanding of architecture, workflows, and real-world system design. Readers interested in STM32, memory and power management, RTOS, and IoT solutions will benefit most from this comprehensive guide.
