Key benefits

• Identify and overcome challenges in embedded environments

• Understand the steps required to increase the security of IoT solutions

• Build safety-critical and memory-safe parallel and distributed embedded systems

Description

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.

What you will learn

• Participate in the design and definition phase of an embedded product

• Get to grips with writing code for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers

• Build an embedded development lab and optimize the workflow

• Write memory-safe code

• Understand the architecture behind the communication interfaces

• Understand the design and development patterns for connected and distributed devices in the IoT

• Master multitask parallel execution patterns and real-time operating systems

This book does a great job of exploring all the "low-level details" about Arm CortexM processors and its role in an embedded system. It helps answer the question "What really is an embedded system and what do you need to start building one?" It covers lots of topics which is great for guiding further study after finishing the book.

This book is currently, the best on learning to program Cortex-M MCUs in an "industry" setting. Pair it with "Embedded Systems Fundamentals with ARM Cortex-M based Microcontrollers: A Practical Approach" which is a little more basic and you have everything you need to master the ARM Cortex-M family.Programming the Cortex-M is nothing like programming a 8051/AVR/PIC etc. The MCU has far more complexity which can be used to run a proper RTOS in addition to bare-metal programming. The supporting additional complexity in the hardware is what makes it so difficult to program without a reasonable level of understanding. That is where this book comes in; the author explains each major module of functionality with adequate code walk-through and the intention of showing how everything fits together in an end "System". Highly recommended!Some caveats; the first couple of introductory chapters can be pared down even further. The last couple of chapters on IoT and RTOS are too basic and need to be fleshed out more.Finally, this book can be used as a preliminary to studying "Embedded Linux" (though standard Linux doesn't run on Cortex-M) since it clarifies all the hardware interfacing aspects.

I have been working for a while on a project using an STM32 embedded processor but my knowledge of it is patchy. This book gives a helpful overview of embedded systems development, using STM32 devices as an example. I was pleased to see that it covers the full development lifecycle and the types of tools you need.It neatly sidesteps the issue that vexes me most - that of selecting one of the many possible tool chains, by just using a gcc cross compiler toolchain and 'make' to control the build process. As an approach this makes sense, but I would love to see more discussion of the merits of various frameworks (it briefly mentions CMSIS & libopencm3) and of modern IDE based tools like STM32CubeIDE or PlatformIO.
