Setting Up the Environment

To start working with an embedded system, we need to set up an environment. Unlike the environment we use for desktop development, the environment for embedded programming requires two systems:

A build system: The system you use to write the code
A target system: The system your code is going to be run on

In this chapter, we will learn how to set up these two systems and connect them together. Configurations of build systems may vary significantly— there may be different operating systems, compilers, and IDEs. The variance in target system configurations is even greater since each embedded system is unique. Moreover, while you can use your laptop or desktop as a build system, you do need some sort of embedded board as a target system.

It would be impossible to cover all the possible combinations of build and target systems. Instead...

Key benefits

Get hands-on experience in developing a sample application for an embedded Linux-based system

Explore advanced topics such as concurrency, real-time operating system (RTOS), and C++ utilities

Learn how to test and debug your embedded applications using logs and profiling tools

Description

Developing applications for embedded systems may seem like a daunting task as developers face challenges related to limited memory, high power consumption, and maintaining real-time responses. This book is a collection of practical examples to explain how to develop applications for embedded boards and overcome the challenges that you may encounter while developing. The book will start with an introduction to embedded systems and how to set up the development environment. By teaching you to build your first embedded application, the book will help you progress from the basics to more complex concepts, such as debugging, logging, and profiling. Moving ahead, you will learn how to use specialized memory and custom allocators. From here, you will delve into recipes that will teach you how to work with the C++ memory model, atomic variables, and synchronization. The book will then take you through recipes on inter-process communication, data serialization, and timers. Finally, you will cover topics such as error handling and guidelines for real-time systems and safety-critical systems. By the end of this book, you will have become proficient in building robust and secure embedded applications with C++.

What you will learn

This book is extremely easy to follow! Every step is crystal clear. I guess the author must have spent lots of time checking, double-checking ... ... I've got many years' C++ experience on developing GUIs and algorithms. Newly break into embedded, have bought quite a few other embedded books, but this book is the gem, helped me a lot as it is quite an enjoyable read! easy to follow, no errors found so far. Many thanks to the author and reviewer for their hard work!!!

The book provides a comprehensive guide for developing embedded C++ modules with a highly practical and systematic approach.The book uses latest tools available in the industry (Docker, CMAKE, etc.), which makes it a breeze to get right into the process of learning.You just need a development machine (Linux, OSX or Windows) to set up the environment and start developing ! The author provides detailed instructions to set up your environment and provides compilable code to get you started from the get go.The author takes on major fundamental blocks required for every successful embedded system like IPC, debugging, memory management, scheduling, logging, build system, etc., providing detailed explanation with clear code snippets of pros and cons of various approaches which can be used to tackle each problem. This is really useful for seasoned developers who are interested in writing/architecting production level code.The author provides great insights into using the right functionalities of latest C++-11/14 which can be utilized to replace traditional C style programming, hence increasing the velocity of development for any team.Overall, I would highly recommend this book for developers who want to start developing for the embedded world and also seasoned developers who want to have a reference to the vast nuances and pitfalls of developing for devices with small form factor.

A good reference book for embedded software engineers, I understand the focus of the book is not about microcontrollers but more coverage on this important topic would been useful as it is the center of most embedded devices. Content coverage is average
