The code base should contain all the source code, third-party libraries, data, scripts, and automations needed to build the final image. It is a good idea to keep self-contained libraries in separate directories, so that they can be easily updated to newer versions by replacing the subdirectory itself. Makefiles and other scripts can be placed in the project's root directory. Application code should be short and synthetic, and access the modules abstracting the macro functionalities. Functional modules should describe a process while hiding the details of the underlying implementation, such as reading data from a sensor after it has been properly sampled and processed. Aiming for small, self-contained, and adequately abstracted modules also makes the components of the architecture easier to test. Keeping the majority of the logic for the application...

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.
