Overview of this book

Embedded 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.

Embedded Systems – A Pragmatic Approach

Designing and writing software for embedded systems poses a different set of challenges than traditional high-level software development. This chapter gives an overview of these challenges and introduces the basic components and the platform that will be used as a reference in this book.

In this chapter, we will discuss the following topics:

  • Domain definition
  • RAM
  • Flash memory
  • Interfaces and peripherals
  • Connected systems
  • The reference platform
