Overview of this book

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. This book will help you get the hang of the internal working of various components in real-world systems. You’ll start by setting up a development environment and then move on to the core system architectural concepts, exploring system designs, boot-up mechanisms, and memory management. As you progress through the topics, you’ll explore the programming interface and device drivers to establish communication via TCP/IP and take measures to increase the security of IoT solutions. Finally, you’ll be introduced to multithreaded operating systems through the development of a scheduler and the use of hardware-assisted trusted execution mechanisms. With the help of this book, you will gain the confidence to work with embedded systems at an architectural level and become familiar with various aspects of embedded software development on microcontrollers—such as memory management, multithreading, and RTOS—an approach oriented to memory isolation.

Who this book is for

If you’re a software developer or designer that wants to learn about embedded programming, this is the book for you. You’ll also find this book useful if you’re a less experienced or a beginner embedded programmer willing to expand your knowledge of embedded systems. More experience embedded software engineers may find this book useful for refreshing their knowledge of the internals of device drivers, memory safety, secure data transfers, privilege separation, and secure execution domains.
