Making Embedded Systems: Design Patterns for Great Software
by Elecia White

Interested in developing embedded systems? Since they don’t tolerate inefficiency, these systems require a disciplined approach to programming. This easy-to-read guide helps you cultivate a host of good development practices, based on classic software design patterns and new patterns unique to embedded programming. Learn how to build system architecture for processors, not operating systems, and discover specific techniques for dealing with hardware difficulties and manufacturing requirements.

Written by an expert who’s created embedded systems ranging from urban surveillance and DNA scanners to children’s toys, this book is ideal for intermediate and experienced programmers, no matter what platform you use.

Optimize your system to reduce cost and increase performance

Develop an architecture that makes your software robust in resource-constrained environments

Explore sensors, motors, and other I/O devices

Do more with less: reduce RAM consumption, code space, processor cycles, and power consumption

Learn how to update embedded code directly in the processor

Discover how to implement complex mathematics on small processors

Understand what interviewers look for when you apply for an embedded systems job
