Product Description

Product Description

  "I sincerely wish (this book) had been available when I had to learn all this stuff the hard way."
--Steve Vinoski "An excellent job of introducing and defining the jargon associated with embedded systems. This makes the text extremely easy to read."
--David Cuka

An Embedded Software Primer is a clearly written, insightful manual for engineers interested in writing embedded-system software. The example-driven approach puts you on a fast track to understanding embedded-system programming and applying what you learn to your projects. This book will give you the necessary foundation to work confidently in this field.

Building on a basic knowledge of computer programming concepts, this book will help you to:

  • Learn core principles and advanced techniques of embedded-system software.
  • Find out what a real-time operating system (RTOS) does and how to use one effectively.
  • Experiment with sample code and the µC/OS RTOS version 1.11 (on the accompanying CD).
  • Apply what you learn, no matter which microprocessor or RTOS you use.

After reading this book, you will be able to tackle the challenges of embedded system programming and quickly reap the benefits of your new skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for educational purpose and junior experts, 4 Mar 2002
I was very positively surprised to see someone writing an introduction book on embedded software.
In fact, It's sometimes very hard to summarize such a wide discipline within a little bit more than 400 pages. This book has the advantage to stay general wich can be very interesting for teachers or people that don't have any knowledge of this field. It start with simple software architectures to the most intricate : the real time operating system (RTOS). The second half of this book is dedicated to RTOS with an introduction to an existing RTOS (µC-OS). It's a high pleasure to be introduced in the field with such a step by step book. Congratulations M. Simon.
